text: Another problem online school can help is truancy. Being that the class is online there is no excuse not to be able to do the work. Students don't have to show up to a certain place at a specific time or have to wake up super early, as long as some type of internet connection is available. Even though, there will always be some bad apples in the bunch that choose not to take advantage of being able to essentially 'work from home'; that shouldn't talk away the chance for the people would actually put in the effort to do the work.
