[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you write a note that she is missing for a 100th bday, or family trip, teachers do not have to supply the work, and can give her zeros for anything missed. I am not saying they WILL, I am saying they CAN, because it will be an unexcised absense. If you say she is missing for religious reasons, it is excused, and teachers must provide the make up work, and cannot give her any zeros for time she's missed. [/quote] I've never heard of any teacher doing that. What would be really mean. In high school, my kid has had jerk teachers, sure. But middle school? Haven't heard of any. [/quote] It's not about jerk teachers. That's the MCPS rule. And it's not a good idea to lie about the reason. The principal can authorize an excused absence for a reason that's not religious, sickness, etc. If you explain the situation, most principals will excuse the absence -- problem solved. [/quote]
