text: One of the biggest reasons student are absent from school is because of sicknesses, and this, a lot of the time, leads to students getting behind in their classes just because the student was not able to get out of bed or was contagious; however, with schools enabling their students to be able to attend class from home through online chats or video conferences it allows the students to be given another opportunity to still attend class from the comfort of their own home. In addition, students also sometimes miss school on behalf of a family emergency or vacation. Usually when a family vacation is planned, it is not a decision made by the students but rather their parent. A lot of time the vacation can last about a week or more, and ,consequently, lead to the student getting immensely behind in their classes. In some cases, it can take weeks for the students to catch up on all the work causing the student unnecessary stress. With schools allowing their student to attend class through video conference this takes preventative action from the student getting too behind in their classes.
