I teach almost all seniors. Am I an a-hole for telling my classes that if they want extra credit they better come to class tomorrow and do the test corrections I am offering?

I feel like they if they want the extra credit to help their grade bad enough then they will sacrifice senior skip day.

Is this a real thing? When I was in school everybody talked about it but nobody actually did it.

Why would you want the kids to come to school?
Without them it just makes your easy day that much easier.

You sound like my teacher who just assigns boatloads of homework to help get our grades up.

That is ban worthy. You're a real asseipe for even thinking that way.

Mentally, they checked out of your class a month ago.

Let it go.

Sounds like you should be happy that you'll have a full day to do shite you normally don't have time for

Why all the down votes? They have two weeks left of school then they are out for the summer.

Why can't they sacrifice senior skip day to do the test corrections that could pull their grade up 1 or 2 letter grades?!?!

I know that I'm old and did 16 years of Catholic education, but I've never heard of this. Is there a day that students actually are invited to skip class?

If there is such a tradition and you're giving extra credit to those who skip skip day, then you're a dick.

It is not sanctioned by the school and our Asst principal even sent emails out to the senior parents letting them know what their kids were planning.

It's tradition in the south.

Sr.'s pick a day and go party. Usually on the water somewhere. Some bodies lake house or similar.

I had it at my house.

Sounds more like you should spend the time reflecting on how to become a better teacher seeing as your pupils need extra credit.

I suppose it shouldn't matter to the students who are already doing decently in your class. With that being said, you're a fricker for doing something like this on Senior Skip Day. Why not just assign something they can do at home for extra credit instead of going to your bum arse class?

After 12 years of putting up with school rules, y'all are just a bunch of commies to be this way.

I have received a couple emails from students telling me that tomorrow is senior skip day and asking me if they can do the test corrections another day.

Wtf?!?!
