Agreed, but unfortunately this varies from school to school.  I have personal experience with this:  We left one day early for winter break and told the teacher (5th grade) that my son would not be in that day.  [b]She gave him a zero for an assignment due that day[/b], refused to budge.  Principal backed her up.

Going forward, we will lie if necessary, and explain to our kids why we do so.  Some rules are meant to be broken.[/quote]

[b]He should have turned the assignment that last day he was at school.[/b]  Yes, that means he had one less day to work on it but that is how the cookie crumbles when you skip school.  If she assigned it the day he left then he needed to complete it that day & send it in with another student.  Nice try blaming the teacher for it.  [/quote]

She would not take it a day early.  She would not take it at all - early, late, whatever.  If he wasn't there *that day*, he was not able to do the work for the grade.  The principal backed her up - he got a zero.

[/quote]. Wait a minute. Why do you assume the policy was the teacher's and not the principal's?  Or the county's?  [/quote]
