That’s ridiculous. The prof’s attendance policy really should not supersede the police set by the school. Why bother having a school-wide policy at all, then, if teachers are just going to ignore it and set their own rules?
My point exactly. It makes no sense, and this teacher has failed multiple students before because of his attendance policy. Specifically there's a girl I know who has taken his class three times because she had a string of deaths and family drama, but he failed her anyway.
Yet my other teacher has a similar classroom policy, but if you at least tell her and it's a valid reason, then she'll excuse your absences. Either way I don't find it ok, sure you need to attend class but shit happens man. Not excusing anything is like expecting me to not be emotional during this time.

I had the same situation a couple years back. Very frustrating, because it’s like, the last thing you want to be worrying about right now is classroom attendance.
Exactly. And now I have to be careful and basically unless I'm dying make it to that class, but even then it's just like ugh. Shit happens man, being badly ill or going through emotional times is valid in the real world, so school shouldn't be any different.
