text: Another reason, is that they don't have to be late for school while they drive to school get a pass and go to class. That could be a waste of time and only coming for two or three classes, while they could save time at home and do other things and just get on the computer at the time that class starts. The school doesn't have to call your parents if they are late to class or absent while you are online taking the class and listening to the class. Being late to school is not a good thing because you can miss work,then you have to make it up and turn it in when it's due. Some teachers give an extended class period to turn in their work the next class period so they can get it done and turned in. They should be on time for their classes so they don't have to miss work and just get done in class the same day. If they come in late they still have to do makeup work for the class that they missed. They have to tell the teacher when they see her again that they missed what they did in class so the teacher knows what they missed. If you don't tell a teacher what you missed during that class the teacher won't know what u missed and the teacher can put a zero on work u have not done or not turned in on time.
