text: Another great reason that online classes are beneficial are that the class you want may not be offered at your school so you can take it online from your home. You might also live far from the nearest school and do not have a form of transportation to go to and back from school. Online classes would allow you the same education that is given to someone who physically shows up to school physically. This would be a push factor. A counter argument could be that some families might be not having a laptop to use for your online courses. I think many schools are starting to give out issued laptops to their students. If that is not the case or they dont have WIFI, they could always go to the nearest library and make use of the resources there.
