[quote=Anonymous]Example: student is absent Every Single Time there is a test. He is always "sick" that day, with a note or phone call from parents. Are the parents lying? I don't know, but the other kids in class sure notice that Mr. Absent on Test Days always gets an extra day or extra weekend to prepare, and they are annoyed as they feel this is unfair. Often I wonder if Mr. Absent on Test Days is a student with serious test anxiety, but it's often hard to talk to parents about that possibility, generally because they insist he was sick, perhaps because he was, or perhaps because the parents are truly trying to get him that extra day to study. Poor kid, being pressured so much to perform on tests that he has to see his parents lie for him... and maybe learns that it's OK to lie in exchange for some perceived gain.[/quote]
