[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just had a girl leave for two months on vacation. I told her she'd be responsible for her making this up on her own or she'd fail my class. The attitude...."There's no way I'm doing work on MY vacation." Me: Then you'll fail. Her: You're just a b-word (she obviously said the actual word-this forum apparently doesn't allowing cussing)

I'm getting out ASAP.[/quote]
Meh. Under current MCPS rules she'll be unenrolled in a couple weeks.[/quote]

She won’t. It’s actually excused bc the parents called it in ahead of time . Thanks for playing though! This is why teachers want to quit. They tell their actual stories and people who have no idea what they are talking about choose not to believe them. Unreal.[/quote]

And this is how things are ridiculous for not being enforced.  It’s one thing if it’s called in  ahead of time for a kid whose parent or immediate family member may be dying.  Okay that’s an extenuating circumstance.  Heck I’d give you a parent that’s a diplomat/military/ etc where the educational value of the trip plus some homework might actually outweigh class on various levels.  But most of these should just be told, “hope you have fun, your child will be marked unexcused for all days missed(unless you can produce the appropriate documentation for an excused absence).  They will receive a grade of 0 for any missed assignments.  At the one week mark we will notify the truancy office and week 2 unenroll your kid so as to stop wasting the time of our teachers/Admin Secretary/well being staff.  Any questions?”[/quote]
