text: High school students have to worry about their GPA in order to get into college. One day of missing class could push a student far behind his or her classmates. Many schools across the United States have been using Google class for students to keep up their work and to remember to do homework. More and more schools are assigning laptops to students, so they can all connect with teachers and classmates about projects, homework, or questions. It is considered distance learning if a student could connect to it outside of school. Besides Google classroom, online lessons could help absent students maintain their grades. It is a shame for students to not be able to understand the things they missed due to health reasons or family emergencies. If more students can maintain their grades through distance learning, that would benefit the school as well when it comes to education ranking. If more students have higher grades due to keeping up with missed classwork when they are absent, it would help the school gain a better status as well.
