text: Lastly, students who live in areas with harsh weather conditions sometimes have days where school has to close down. Snow days, heat days and even wind days can all affect the school work getting done by a student. When snow days occur in my area teachers usually hold class that morning to still get our work done and stay on track during the school year. Once my math teacher held a three hour math class on a snow day morning to keep everyone from forgetting the subject. With that some might state that students would choose not to do it or miss the class. All work is still up for a grade and those students will need to complete it. In 2009, the east coast of the U.S. had a huge snow storm closing down school for two weeks. Students fell really far behind on their school work and had to rush to learn everything when they got back. If schools provided online school everyone would have stayed on track and could learn at their own pace. Having weather affect the students learning, online school benefits the students in learning even when school is not open.
