text: It can be useful if a student goes away on vacation, because they can still at least check up on the work that they've missed if they miss class. If a student is sick, they can make up work a lot easier, especially if they do not have to print out and missing pieces of classwork, useful if they do not have a printer at home. Coupled with the fact that more and more schools are giving out laptops to their students, the issue of people not having access to technology at home will not be an issue to anybody, because they should have access to the school-given laptops. Some people may say this is a bad idea because students can stay home more often from school, and while they are right, What isn't stopping them now, won't stop them when this is implemented, some people dont change.
