Tentacruel Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 So I'm going to this thing. A religious thing in Atlanta, but that's besides the point. Admission is like $200, and my attendance has been paid for through donation by people from my church who are for the most part quite poor. Point being, I kind of have to go. I'm going to be out of town on the first day of class next term. Gonna miss the first day of Trig, which sucks major ass. My teacher's response when I explain? "Don't miss the first class." Discuss things that frustrate you. >:{ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cin Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 My sister was lucky when she was going through her GNVQ/A Levels they were nice enough to give her a score reflective of the work she'd done because she had to miss exams (or was in too much pain to do them). Basically she'd been in pain because of a blood clot in her leg. (She has it under control now, and it's cause is only in her leg). I've probably had several, but can't remember them for some reason.

Northern Sage Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 This is nowhere as major as the above, but in secondary school (read grades 7-9) our Math was divided into Easy, Medium and Hard. I had been going on Medium throughout most of the years, but since the class were starting to fill up and I got a slightly higher score than passing grade on a national test, I was moved up to Hard. The problem? This was almost end year, and the teacher we had in Hard didn't have enough to go on to give me anything higher than passing grade. Hell, he even said that I likely could have gotten higher grades if I had changed earlier. I might have had a chance to get up to higher grades if I had stayed in medium. Sorry if this is confusing or not worth mentioning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greiga Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 So you transfered classes near the end of the uear and the teacher was too lazy to go check out your old work? Balls. The ony things I get frustrated at are mostly my fault, so nothing to post here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Sage Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 It was more along the lines of poor communications between the two teachers (read: next to non-existant). Another little anecdote: My brother is going in Hard class in said Math class and has worse grades than a lot of people in Medium, even though [i]they were already reading Math from higher grades, which they aren't even graded in because it isn't part of their basis of assessment. [/i]He is also fairly good at Math. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JadenxAtemYAOI Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 The man that delivered Joshua for me was my local minister who happened to work at the hospital. I asked for drugs. He said no, it isn't natural. I sprayed him at the entrance of the church with NAR acting surprised. He said call an ambulance. I told him no, God planned this for you. Suck it up.

.Rai Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 Hmm. Worst thing ever to happen to me was a serious lack of waffles. But a lot of people are emotionally void. You try to explain an issue which any normal person would understand you don't want to talk about, yet they act completely irrational. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burnpsy Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 Heh. Over here, if I have a documented reason that falls within the guidelines (generally a medical one or a death in the family), I just have to take a doctor's note/death certificate to the registrar and they'll make alternate arrangements for me.
