Surely, you gave them all zeros for the day. There's no excuse to skip out today or any day.
LOL A small word about my grading policies. I follow district guidelines for scale, of course. But all my assignments carry multiple grades. An exam is typically worth three grades. Get this, I double the "F" on a zero...for no work performed. Lots of my kids break their butts and still get an "F." That's just the way life is sometimes. So why should I give the lazy ones or those who don't give a hoot the same grade as somebody who really tried and simply failed? Last thing before I went home last friday I warned everybody who had me Monday there was an exam.....BE there or show me a death certificate.......and a body.......
Legally speaking, IF the kids show up tomorrow with a note from mom or dad or guardian I have to let them make the exam up. But it doesn't have to be the same exam (nor should it be under the guidelines) only the same content. You should see my backup exam for cases like this.....
