text: Many student-athletes, like myself, happen to miss a lot of school for their sport. Most sports require a lot of traveling, especially when competing at higher levels. Tournaments can be long sometimes, and then a day of the tournament may fall on a school day, and students usually leave for a tournament the day before, depending on how far the destination is they may leave earlier. Personally I miss quite a bit for tournaments, especially when they're every weekend and Im having to leave early. Some of my classes I fall behind in, because there isn't really a chance for me to come in to make up the material, when both me and the teacher are busy. Online classes would allow me the chance to make up the classes I missed during a break, or if available, download it for the trip to the tournament, or back from the tournament.
