[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What culture are they? I taught international students. My colleagues and I have a lecture on acculturation to American educational norms. One of the lessons we taught was "excuses that are not acceptable for missing a class." We specifically said that picking a relative up from the airport was not a good reason to miss a class - make your auntie visiting from India take a cab. In some cultures picking a relative up from the airport is a big deal.[/quote] Or if you are from a town where there are limited transport options (e.g., small town with no uber/lyft/supershuttle/etc.). My 32 y/o cousin from a small town took an uber for the first time in his life last month when he went to NYC and was upset nobody would pick him up at JFK until he realized none of his friends in NYC had a car.[/quote]
