text: Second, if a student wakes up sick or has another reason why they can't make it to school it is easy for them to still attend class and get their work done. Lots of students get sick during the school year and have to miss school because of it. This year eleven out of the twenty-three kids in my class were out sick because of the flu. My teacher had to stop teaching because she didnt want the other students to get far behind in work. This issue can be resolved with the online class option. People may argue that students will just fake sick just to stay home in affect increase the amount of student absences. While that is false because students will still get credited for attendance if they show up online to class and get their work done which will actually decrease the absence amount.
