[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most schools are requiring notes from the office because there are plenty of parents who lie. It was amazing to me the other day when I had 4 kids miss my 1st period test, all with variations of doctor/dentist/ortho appt/appt run late. 🙄 yeah, right.[/quote]

Dear Teacher, I appreciate you and the inconvenience of doing make-ups for kids who have a huge variety of excuses.  But, these ortho/doctor/dentist offices require that we make appointments up to 6 months in advance, and we parents aren't able to guess when tests might be, or reschedule the appointments at the last minute.  I know it is a hassle, but we aren't all liars. I will admit to having lied when my kid had 4 or 5 tests on a single day.[/quote]

We all aren't liars...but I've lied when it benefited my child! The problem with this mindset is that if every student did this, the teacher would lose a lot of time trying to give retakes, but only the entitled few* benefit instead.[/quote][/quote]
