Illnesses, deaths, and military responsibilities interfere with one’s college classes. A student having a common cold or influenza could affect other students in proximity to him or her. Mental and physical illness can damage a student’s grade even if he or she attends class regularly. When a family member or a close loved one dies, a person not only has to attend the funeral, but they also need time for mourning. Current family problems can be a reason for an absence from class. If a student is in or has family in the military, certain activities could come up and cause an absence as well. When a student’s mom or dad, brother or sister, or boyfriend or girlfriend is coming home or leaving for a tour, that student might have to miss school. Why is it fair for a teacher to drop a student from his or her roster because of these reasons? A student’s health, mental and physical, is more important than his or her attendance
