missing class

The whole idea of missing a few days of school is unfair.

Missing school because your sick, because you can't lift your stuffy, clogged up, red nosed body or even a loss of a family member should be an excuse to give some slack to the kids, especially the ones that actually try in school and rarely miss class. And then the teachers give them a hard time about not understanding/doing the work is stupid. It makes sense that you don't want the kids to fall behind, but comee onnnn. Give the kid a break, they just lost someone/can't even pick up there head off the pillow and defiantly could not solve questions or problems. Now tell me, is that fair?
