[quote=Anonymous]I think it depends on the kid's attitude and why they thought it was o.k. to skip their classes. Lots of college classes these days are pretty much mandatory attendance. But some of the large lecture hall type classes are easy to skip out on. Sometimes the notes (and even the lecture itself) are also posted online, most of the quiz/test material comes straight from the book...so skipping a class is NBD if you have the study skills to do so. Once you get that habit of skipping class it's a hard one to break and in the smaller classes it can feel like the walk of shame reappearing in a class after weeks of not being there. I know because I did that as a freshman, myself. If my kid seemed genuinely regretful for blowing off his/her classes I would probably agree to give them a second chance. [/quote]
