Oh my god, I know. It's so annoying. It's not my fault that I got the flu lol Then when they ask you why you were out for so long and you tell them you were suck they think that your lying.
Or when your sick with the flu for a week and then they try to blame it on you that you didn't do your homework because you were home. It's like jesus, I'm sorry I didn't know you wanted me to puke all over the desk, -_-
I know exactly what you mean by that! My L.A teacher last year gave me 11 F's on assignments and didn't tell me until the end of the quarter... it was her first year. It's so annoying. The older ones can be nicer too.
