text: Because online schooling does not require a student to show up at a particular place at a set time, many more kids would be able to do many things while still going to school. Sometimes, kids have a family emergency that completely prevents them from going to school and having to take a lot of time off from school. Other times kids may be involved in something that takes up the school day, or part of it, and they need to be able to acess another way of learning, such as online school. This provides an effecient, and most likely non-time consuming, way of learning for kids that have to be on-the-go or gone from school for an extended period of time. Although some people agree with this, others think that attending school needs to be kids main priority and that there should be no exception to kids not attending school. While attending school should be kids main priority, there are other opportunities and unforseeable things that happen and cause students to miss a great amount of school. So, online schooling is a great opiton that schools should offer for these students.
