7/26/2021

 
Picture
“I had a student who sent me an email for a rest stop bathroom letting me know they would miss the exam. Somehow, the door lock broke and they were trapped. They sent me pics throughout the ordeal, including with the state trooper who kept them company while the county maintenance people were working.”

“This is not my story, but from one of my colleagues. He had a student take an exam early because the FBI was looking for him. Sure enough, on the day of the exam, two guys in suits showed up and asked him where the student was.”

“I had a student who was sentenced to spend X number of days in jail. Because she was a student, they allowed her to ‘spread out’ her sentence over numerous months. She missed an exam because she ‘had to be in jail.’”

“One girl told me that she missed my exam because her mother died. I offered condolences and requested documentation. An obituary would do.

It was a pencil-written letter in girly cursive written on a page torn out of a spiral notebook stating that the girl's mother had died. It was signed “xxxx’s father.”
