That is just ridiculous!

When I was coming up, I was allowed to miss school only if fever or contagion risk were involved. NO exceptions.

That is exactly the only times I was allowed to miss too. I tried to make myself sick one year (8th grade), but my mom said, "You're going and that's final." In 9 years of teaching, I've missed an average of about 1 day a year and no sick days. Most have been due to either a class, funeral, or family reunion. Mom said, "You need to take off two days to come to the family reunion this year." I said, "Yes, ma'sm. I will miss one day this year due to my brother getting married too.
