[quote=Anonymous]AP was my child's Assistant Principal who we were dealing with. My child is NOT taking any AP courses. My child is an A/B student who knew the material in all of her classes but was facing serious academic repercussions if she missed the exams. I'm sure she could have performed better if she wasn't sick but she could pass even if she was taking the test with a fever. We gave the school the doctor's note but they didn't care she was contagious. The school doesn't care for the well being of others so my child did the best she could with the circumstances she was given. It would help if MCPS had a consistent policy that school administration has to follow when children are sick and provide medical documentation, but the fact is that the school administration has broad discretion on how they handle individual situations. The result for my child would have been unjustly punitive so my child took her exams while she was sick. [/quote]
