text: During recent times, more and more students are starting to get sick. Most of the time those illnesses are contagious and they are forced to stay at home so they don't infect others. In other cases, they could have had a medical procedure and wouldn't be able to go back to school immediately. Or perhaps a deadly virus is going around and, in the off-chance that a student would have to be quarantined, they would still be able to be in class if they could not be there due to CDC precautions. An immediate and current example of this would be the CORVID-19 virus, also known as Coronavirus, which has presently needed a few students in the local area to be quarantined when the outbreak first started. They had to miss up to two weeks of school. Because they couldn't show up for health reasons, this is another reason why being able to learn from home would benefit students.
