text: Well that is one way, you could use the online classes too. Let's say I am in high school, senior year, and I break my leg during a soccer game. I need an operation and Im supposed to lay still for 5 weeks, well i can't really miss school for that long. So i talk to my guidenscounsler and we figure out that I could actually still attend my classes and take care of my injury at the same time. By during the online school and not missing 5 weeks of senior year I could still get the credit i need to graduate.
