text: Having the ability to take classes online also has the potential to prevent global pandemics, such as the Coronavirus. By having the ability to continue classes online or by video conferencing, school systems have the capability to prevent outbreaks from getting into schools. For example, about a month ago I was sick with the flu. I was out all week lying in bed the entire time. Little did I know that hundreds of other students were out with the flu that week. By having the option to attend classes from home, that outbreak could have been avoided. Imagine what would happen if the outbreak were to be the Coronavirus, or any other illness of that magnetude. If all schools were to have the option to attend classes from home, it would eradicate the constant distractions and prevent outbreaks and many other issues.
