text: If a student misses school, he or she would be able to stay caught up in the curriculum because of attending class from home. In many instances, when a child is absent from class, that child falls way behind in the unit that is being taught. Confusion may arise while that child is in class the next day with no understanding about what is being taught. This can cause their grades to decrease because they are missing work and missing material. But if the student were to have a video conference with their teacher, there would be no risk of falling behind in class. Giving students a chance to learn from home would work in their favor.
