text: The ability to take classes from home would directly benefit absent students, as well as sick students that aren't able to attend school any given day. The issue with sickness - and, particularly, with the flu season - is the increasing number of absent students that are forced to skip out on classes. As if their lives aren't busy enough already, they now have the responsibility of catching up on missed work and unfinished notes. Schools have already tried numerous contraceptives to this issue, from sending home work for the student to complete or force them to attend class if their sickness isn't severe; however, those options suffer the risk of getting other students sick, or having the sick student obtain a poor understanding of the subject at hand due to their illness. Being able to take the class at home would allow the teacher to teach that student at the same level as he could achieve in class, even if they aren't physically present. It would eliminate any confusion and risk of exposing other children to the sickness, benefiting both the absentee and the school faculty.
