text: Some students may have their absence due to disciplinary consequences or maybe a sickness. Suspension would be the only consequence that would keep a student from their natural learning environment. Even though that student may have committed actions that were obviously not good in the school system, they still have every right to learn just as much as the present student in school. This consequence is very reasonable but not allowing that child to have access to their learning isn't fair at all. Sickness is also a very common excuse on why students were absent. Not being able to learn because of the fact that you're ill is kind of like a punishment. Being sick is not a bad thing, and those who stay home for this reason should get full accessibility to their class work.
