text: Video conferencing a class or teacher while absent would benefit both teacher and student. Normally, students would have to stay after school or before in order to learn the material they missed. This takes time away from the teacher and student. It is a teacher's job to help every individual student if they ask for it. But both student and teacher could have conflicting schedules or have after school activities to attend to like sports. If a student could video conference a class from home, he or she could be able to learn with the class instead of falling behind and asking their peers to help them. For teachers, that could help the teacher have all of his or her students understand the material together, instead of having to take time away from his or her day to re-teach a lesson.
