Kid can take the retake exam the day they return, but all the missed classwork stays 0s. I teach juniors and seniors, if you haven’t figured out the rules by now, that’s your problem.
On the flip side, I will bend over backwards for a true emergency. I’ve zoomed kids who couldn’t come to school for excused absences and taught them private mini lessons on Saturdays, I’ve written completely new assessments so they still were able to have multiple attempts, I’ve stayed until 7 pm on Fridays to catch up kids before they leave the next week for a family emergency.
But not for vacation. If you choose not to take advantage of my initial lesson because something else is more appealing, you can pay a tutor to get it on your own time.
Yet you demand parents not care when teachers are out for vacation versus “emergencies”.
Gosh, I wonder why there’s so much disdain for teachers and widespread belief they’re entitled these days…
