Original post here if you need it (second student mentioned in entry or if you don't feel like consulting it, student absent over a week, w/o word, she said her sister was sick and she was needed at bedside)....
So I decided to be nice to that student who missed the first test. I wrote her and said that I would consider some kind of grade compensation for the compo and test if she wanted to furnish a letter from doctors or parents attesting to her sister's condition, with pertinent dates about her being needed there, including accurate contact info for the letter's author in case I had further questions (as if I have time or ganas to call some doctor in BFE, yeah, right).
Her answer: Thank you so much, Mme S. I will think about this and get back to you.
Hmmm. "Think about it"...
Right.
That was a week and a half ago but of course there's a LOT to think about, given that 2 days before she was in tears because of missing two major components and ready to do anything to make them up.... This would have been a No Brainer but for the fact that her story was in fact a sizeable load of bull twinkies.
I think we can safely say the proverbial bluff was duly called, n'est-ce pas?
Wow. It sure is a Monday mood-wise.
