text: Although many students would like to just rest on their sicks days, teachers and many parents would find it more beneficial for their kids to still be able to attend class and not miss work. Kids get sick all the time and miss plenty of days of school. Most students tend to fall behind just by missing a day of education. Other students can get the information and the work for the student who is sick, but being able to still attend the class through video helps you understand the lecture and is nothing compared to just receiving notes. Having a sick day puts your student a day behind and many students fake being sick just to not attend school. The option to attend classes by online/video conferences would help many students to not fall back and stay up to date with the lectures when they decide to take a sick day.
