Today was the last day of school before Easter vacations. All day I watched the constant exodus of students leaving campus with their suitcases already packed and ready to go after their last class. Well, almost everyone because some students didn't even bother to come in today.
I don't know about school policy in other places, but here if you accumulate more than 20% unjustified absences in the period you automatically flunk out. The kids know it but they are absent anyway.
The part I hate is when they come back and start pestering teachers to make their absences disappear. I'm not Harry Potter and I can't do magic, dudes. Sorry.
Tomorrow I'll have to deal with the football jocks, who need to come in on Saturdays for class (let's see how many of them actually do).
To all of you out there...take care and be safe; your families expect you back in one piece and unharmed.
