This shouldn’t be counted towards finals. The State of Idaho needs to change the way absences are counted towards finals as it is an underlying issue.

I feel like I haven’t found my place in the Hispanic population in school even though I am full Hispanic. I don’t speak Spanish fluently, I am at a different academic level than other Hispanics, and I have different interests.…
