text: Understandably, students could take advantage of this system by just saying they are sick to sit in on a class from the comfort of their own bed, but this could be very beneficial for the others who physically can't come to school or who can't learn in the schooling environment without getting punished. The amount of students that this could benefit is marginally bigger than those who would take advantage of the system. Some parents don't let students take mental health days or stay home sick because they have a heavy workload, but if they knew about the ability to continue learning while they are at home instead of missing out and doing a bunch of make up work, they might be more inclined to let their child stay home and learn from there instead. Distance learning could be very beneficial to those who are not present in class, those who are troublemakers, and those who have mental illnesses or learning disabilities.I think some students with benefit from distance learning and some wont.
