text: Everywhere a person goes there is always a chance for them to get sick. They will possibly pick up nasty germs, especially at a public school. There are a lot of different viruses that go around every year, and throughout the year. Some of the diseases or viruses can even be deadly. Thats one of the reasons why its beneficial to be home schooled. That way no one will have to worry about other people being around them who are sick. And they wont have to worry about picking up any illness or germs that someone else has. Also if a student does become very ill on their own and cant get out of bed or cant go out the house because they are to afraid to get anyone else sick. Then they can still stay home and be able to do school work, and get it done and turned in on time. They can still be very successful in school even when they are sick and need to stay home.
