I strongly dislike Bob Barr as well. However, the issue isn’t whether I agree with the politician. It’s that they ditched half of class on day when a test was scheduled.

If any teacher should understand you should. There is no class they will take as important as their chance to be part of history and witness history being made.

violins play in the background while I gag myself with a pitchfork over your retardedly sentimental B.S.

34

Yes. Yes I would.

Seriously though. It’s a pretty freakin big deal IMO. The likely next president coming and those kids probably caring a lot about the guy too? Something as big as this doesn’t strike me as ‘just an excuse to get out of class or the test.’

If it was Ron Paul and I missed class to go see Ron Paul, I’d be hella pissed if I was penalized. I’d also be more understanding tho because apparently I’d just be “wasting my vote” on him.:dry:

What would you do if they showed up 2 hours late because they went to a concert? Do what you’d do then and you’ll be right.

No you are BS if you punish them. Sorry but your class in not that important.

I agree. I don't think it is overly sentimental. What is going on right now is still bigger than any class you will take.

are you drunk? BS is an adjective, not a noun.

I appreciate your input, but please don’t spew supposed facts when they’re only opinions. My class may or may not be “that important” in the grand scheme of things, however rules are rules, tests are tests, and due dates are due dates.
