For instance, about two and a half years ago I had the flu and I was out of school for about a week or two, so I returned to school only to find out I've missed tons and tons of work. I was so behind and I didn't catch up about three weeks from then. Lastly, online could assist you if your teacher isn't the best at what they do. Most teachers do not really teach their students, they give them little instruction and then they hand out a work sheet and the students have to take the information and piece it together to figure out what to do. Like lets take Generic_Name for example, a math teacher, he doesn't really care if we cheat on our worksheet because he claims he "taught it to us already."
