text: In places around the United States, it can be a problem for many students to get to school safely when inclement weather strikes the area. For these students, they can be out of school for days in the winter, which has a negative impact on their grades. It is difficult to learn and understand material when the students are only attending class intermittently. If students took online classes, this issue would resolve itself. Online classes offer a new opportunity that would involve students not leaving their houses. This promotes a better education and safety as they will not have to venture out into the bad weather. Video classes from home are essentially safer and better for the student's overall academic well being.
