text: Lastly, since students can finish all their work fast, they will have more time for recreational activities to broaden and strengthen their mind outside of class work. The extra time allows for more family bonding. For example, most students do not get home until 4:00pm, and if the student plays a sport, they do not get home until around 6:00pm or 7:00pm. This leaves hardly any time for talking or bonding with their parents, so if online classes are taken by the student, then there will be more time to create a healthy relationship with their parents. Also some families take far, long trips out of the US, causing in school students to get way behind in their classes or even fail them. Thus taking online classes are beneficial to these families to keep their kids educated. Some students already have professions that interfere with school hours. For example, PROPER_NAME is in high school and she is a professional surfer that is constantly traveling abroad for competitions. Her surfing profession has caused her to miss a tremendous amount of school her junior year. The following year, her school offered online classes allowing her to maintain her grades, as well as surf to her best ability. For this reason, schools need to offer online classes to allow students to travel and continue their professions, as well as bond with their families.
