They all know it's a bad idea to miss class so close to finals. We see the colleges as being different from the high schools in that way.

We're not doing anything out of the ordinary.

I would support them getting a chance to retake the test. I'm almost positive that they would be allowed to retake the test in this type of case, but we don't make those decisions.

They did some hammering, but it wasn't that extensive and it wasn't going on the whole day.

Because the noise level was a problem for some students, we told them they could go to another room. The supervisor ended up making the call to stay, and I understand that the call may not have been fair to all.

It's kind of like a Saint Louis reunion of my class. We have a lot of catching up to do.
