text: Attending classes from home can help students stay on track in school. Due to Generic_Name's low immune system, he often misses school because he is always getting sick. With this new online program, Generic_Name can have access to the material he would be missing in class from home. Therefore, he would not have loads of assignements waiting for him by the time he gets back. Although some may argue that students should take the time to rest at home instead of working on assignments while they are sick, being able to work on a few homework assignments rather than attending all classes at school will keep them from falling behind as they are resting for most of the day. Following Generic_Name's frequent absences, students in Generic_City often miss school as well due to snow days during the winter. Now that students can access their assignments at home in snow days, teachers would not feel as rushed to teach them everything before the semester ends. Students that have illnesses and live in areas of inclement weather can benefit from online schooling by keeping up with new material in their classes.
