Late
-
Even sending me a note that you're going to be late is more consideration than I usually get, but I've got enough on-spectrum students that I can very much see this being a legit scenario (though I teach CS so it's a little heavy on the neurodivergent representation). IDK, if they're an otherwise decent student I might let this slide (once), though almost entirely for the novelty of someone actually letting me know they're running late.
The specific wording of the note is a direct reference to Kafka's metamorphosis! So depending on the class and year, teacher should be proud.

i'm not a teacher, but if i was i'd excuse it just because they took the effort to compose such a crazy story. probably learned more than i'd have taught them that day a anyway
If the class was on Kafka I'd give them top marks

I’m newly a teacher (of adults), and I accept literally any excuse anyone gives me. I suspect that I’ll change that as time goes on, but I don’t even really get excuses.

Last time i've read this it hadn't had that huge white spacing.

There's no bug. But there's a mirror and that student has turned into a bug.
Totally Kafkaesque.

Sir this is not a bug, it's a hot dog

That time I was reincarnated as a bug and got spooked by my own reflection.

This may have worked. I once excused a student for being late because the geese were being aggressive.
who cares about collage attendance?
in my uni no one cared, of you're late, it's just a bit rude, of you don't show up, no one cares.
what matters are the graded assignments and exams. if a student aces those but never stepped in a lecture hall, does that matter?

Kafkaesque as shit

I really really should have noticed that, thank you that makes this so much better.

I scream, into the uncaring void. -

wrote on last edited by [email protected]I'll generally accept it if you send any excuse prior to the lecture unless it's becoming a habit - in those rare cases I'll happily work with them to try and figure out a solution. 80% of the time it's family medical appointments or childcare scheduling issues (and my gosh I am so happy to accommodate people dealing with that) and the rare cases it's not we can usually find a way to make up for what they've missed. I've got a couple colleagues that only accept excuses with a doctor's note, and the best thing I can say about them is that they're
retiring soonincredibly passionate about teaching.(none of this applies to freshman courses, though. We've learned that being really strict about attendance for freshman year boosts passing rates by like 30%, it's just crazy.)
