<p>This is a Professional Grad School class (architecture, accounting, engineering, nursing, public health) correct? The student is over 21 and an adult. This is the student’s issue, even if the parent is paying.</p>
<p>If the student passes & earns the required grade for the class and thus earns the professional graduate degree, who really cares if another professional (in this case an academic professional) needs to miss work (teaching) for a conflict. We’ve all had employers who were generous with flex time/time off toi deal with personal issues over the years; please show the same courtesy. Yo’re employer didn’t repremand or garnish your wages when you missed time at work during a rough patch.</p>
