text: Finally, online classes allow students to continue to educate themselves, even with extenuating circumstances. Online classes cost a lot less money. Since all you need for online classes are a laptop and a good mindset, without the expenses of school supplies, textbooks, and possibly fees needed to pay for an extracurricular of some sort, online classes are a viable option, especially for low income families. Speaking of low income families, if a student has to work a job in order to support his own family, online classes are able to fit right into their schedule so that they can educate themselves and support their family at the same time. If a student is suffering from a medical condition, then online classes would be a solid alternative for them. Through online classes, they would be able to learn from the comfort of their home.
