text: First, students would benefit from being able to attend classes from home because it could make up the days when students can't actually go. I've actually seen a few cases of this lately. Because of the coronavirus, many school around the world have closed to prevent the virus from spreading. I was scrolling on Tik Tok and saw a couple students from a school in Japan having lessons over Skype with the entire class, including the teacher. If schools here would ever have to come to actually shutting down, I think that'd be an excellent way to keep up with lessons. Same thing goes with illnesses. A student with a contagious illness could keep up with class by video calling while the class is in lesson and still keep their distance. I wish I had that option back when I was stuck home with the swine flu. Being able to attend classes by online or video conferencing would also be beneficial for weather related cases. Not lately, but years ago, when we'd actually get snow, we'd miss weeks total worth of snow days and we'd have to make up for those lost days by extending the school year into summer, which everybody hated. A chance to attend classes over video calls would prevent that.
