"I missed the day you went over this in class"


Am I suppose to care?!?!

Does this kid think I just won't grade this section of their exam?!?!

The section I'm referring to is a 6 question section on Factor by grouping and it's a senior level high school math class.

In red pen next to the X's for missing the questions should convey your point.

He had to give it a try rather than looking like a complete dumbass when getting the question wrong.

Grade it, then write a note "please be sure to turn in all make up work from the day you were absent to avoid additional deductions"

You're a teacher, so if your students aren't being taught, then yeah, I guess most would care when failing in their profession.

Carry on though.

And you should tell them they should have thought to ask "What did I miss on the day I was out?" when they returned. It's part of learning how to be an adult. When I miss a day at work, one of the first things I do is talk with team members on if there was anything important that I missed.

The kid didn't know the answer and told you why. You're a shitty teacher for posting this on here.

In fairness, you did make a thread about it and he didn't.

You should at least give him quarter credit for that.
