text: Teenagers can be notorious for skipping school, but for some students these absences are unavoidable. For students with mental and physical illnesses, making it out of the house or hospital can be a daily struggle. Schooling might come as a blessed distraction from the terrors of their illness. Offering the opportunity for online classes would also allow these students to get a full and well rounded educational experience. With online classes, they can control their education and not fall behind when sick or receiving treatment.
