text: Students who are sick are often advised not to come to school, and most students follow this advice. However, the downside to this is that students will often miss a full day of content they did not get to learn, or assignments that they did not get to complete. When a student returns to school, they will most likely not have a chance to learn the content they missed and as a result, these consequences can have negative effects on a student's grades. With online classes, a student can learn all the content that is being taught that day at home, which allows students to return to school being caught up with the rest of their class. For example, if a student was sick and missed calculus and English class, they could use their home or school computer to watch a live stream of the classes, or a previously recorded video which their teacher can assign to them that covers all the content the student needs to know. This system would benefit the student and it is a great reason why students should be able to attend classes from home.
