text: High school students are struck with illnesses that hinder their ability to withstand attending school for long periods of time. Imagine having to go to six hours a day five days a week for nine months of the year while in pain. Online classes give ill students the opportunity to keep up with their school work in a manner more suitable for their needs. People with some diseases need to take medicine every hour and have side effects that could include nausea or fatigue which makes attending school very long and exhausting. Online school allows them to take classes from their own home or even the hospital. By being able to take classes in a comfortable setting they students will absorb more of the content because they won't have the setting of school to provide more obstacles for them.
