text: Most critics of online schooling argue that students will take advantage of online classes and will use them to skip in school classes. At my current school, there are regulations and rules that prevent this from happening. Students without accommodations are required to attend school if there is not a valid excuse for an absence. When there is an excused absence, it is assumed that the student is looking over the materials being missed online. People that have accommodations will most likely have a meeting with a school counselor or social worker at the beginning of the year to decide what schedule would work best for the individual. Some students may be required to come to school for part of the day, and then have an off campus wavier for the rest of the day when they have online classes. Others, may opt to have online classes all day and require an off campus wavier for the entire day. These students would then be required to check in to an online program within a certain time, or meet with a teacher that would come by their house to make sure they are completing assignments. No matter what, the student's attendance would still be taken, whether it be online or in class.
