text: Many students miss school days due to medical issues. Some students fall extremely ill or end up hospitalized and are unable to make it to school. Students might also have to take care of a family member who cannot take care of them self. Because of this students end up missing many school days and assignments causing them to fall behind. Allowing them to attend class online would circumvent this issue, allowing them to stay with the class so that when they return, they will not be overburdened with work. It would also benefit students that just do not want to go to school for different reasons.
