[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m not a fan of teaching kids it’s fine to lie to get some small advantage. If they need all this extra time then their classes are too hard or their schedule is not ok right or they need to learn time management. Skipping tests to “get feedback” is cheating.[/quote]

Nobody's lying.
Students just don't go to school and are marked absent.

And as the parent of a child with disabilities who is entitled to extended time, get out of there with your self-righteous screed on time management. My son and all his friends are all working as hard as they can. They all have the time management skills they have. Everyone is doing their best and strategizing to get into the colleges they want. This means dozens of APs and straight As. If they need a half-day here and there, it's all fine. You should applaud their drive and willpower, considering there are so many kids skipping school to smoke weed and experiment with pills instead of keeping their eyes on the prize.

Not true. Parents have to send a note for the absence to be excused.  No way are these parents and kids accepting h excused absences in high school, when it actually matters.[/quote]
