I am not trying to top any other story.
I got this one the other day. This student has missed three classes. Since we meet once a week each absence is 3 hours of class time. When I e-mailed her about the absences, she said, "I didn't think you took attendance." Hey Mr. Matiya! So I'm going through and emailing all my teachers because I won't be here the week of Thanksgiving (21st-29th). I looked on the syllabus and there will be an in-class test and I was wondering if there was anything I can do to either do it early or maybe have it be a take home thing? I also wanted to check to see if there is anything planned for the November 24th class that I will be missing that I can make up. Thanks! I just sat and stared at the computer, I was so dumbfounded.
