[quote=Anonymous]If I don’t have to teach your kid the things they missed, I’m fine. If they come to me next week asking for papers or try to come after school for me to give them a private lesson on the topics we covered, I get really annoyed. It’s a lot of work when 10 kids from 3 different courses want me to catch them up because they were out for funsies.

I was very, very clear starting two weeks ago that I was teaching real content this week and that if they weren’t coming it was their responsibility to watch the videos I will post to schoology and complete the assignments I post before I see them after break. Their classmates will be doing it all in class, I don’t give work over breaks, but they are missing class time.

Technically I’m allowed to give zeros for missed work on unexcused absence days (which your example would be), but that seems overly punitive for something that wasn’t the kid’s decision.

If all the teachers have announced Tuesday is a fluff day, that’s another story.[/quote]
