text: What goes on in a students life could have a large impact on their school performance. When an injured student is attending school, moving from class to class can prove to be very difficult and could also cause them discomfort. Taking classes online would allow the student to heal in the comfort of their home while still being able to obtain the learning material as if they were in school. This could also indicate that online learning does not have to be a permanent solution for all students. Along with being a solution for physically injured students, this could be very beneficial for student athletes who have suffered a concussion. The harsh lighting and loud hallways are factors that are proven to irritate a concussed student, therefore by allowing them to take their classes at home once they are cleared for instruction, they are able to focus on their classwork without risk of feeling sick due to the commotion of a classroom. It could be argued that disrupting a students daily schedule in this manner could cause more harm than good but by allowing students to take their classes online when injured, it allows them to heal with minimal discomfort while missing no class instruction.
