text: Being able to decide when your classes are and how they will be throughout the day is a benefit of online school. Generic_Name has doctors appointment at 9 am on a Monday, but because he takes online school that won't affect him. He is able to go to the appointment and not miss any work like he would in a regular class. As soon as he gets back he can go right back to where he is and finish what he started. When Generic_Name is doing his classwork he decides that he's hungry at weird hour. He goes to get food/snack without missing any work. Generic_Name will have to get all the work done assigned to him that day but has 24 hours to complete compared to 7 like a normal school day. Having this benefit will increase student scores and avoid missing topics.
