I wouldn't have failed you. You would have earned an F.

I'm seeing it after college when we hire these kids in, as well.

My professors didn't care if you didn't show up.

There was in class participation that was a portion of your grade and couldn't be made up. If you never went and managed to ace every test, you'd end up with a C.

Waiting for the time when I can finally say
That this has all been wonderful, but now I'm on my way

And aced the course. Of course. You?

You weren't a fan of college.

I can step back and see your point. I get the feeling that the schools are allowing this so that their average grades go up ( no child left behind, is that still a thing? ). As parents we take as
much blame as anyone, as the kid is pretty lazy and never has homework at home. Has trouble handing things in, writing his name on his paper, stuff like that. His sister was a
top 10 in her class student and was self motivated so it is a polar opposite situation. The boy isn't quite as sharp as his sister, although his sister went off to college and like many
students I would guess, fell flat on her face in college but I suspect that had more to do with time management and partying. Anyway, we are doing our best to try to make him aware
that he is not going to always be able to "mail it in" and if he is interested in becoming a vet or any other position he has interest in that his work ethic and studying need to change
now before high school. We don't want him to learn this the hard way but seems like in one ear and out the other.

A friend of mine only got one grade as an undergrad that was not an A. Her dad was the chair of the Chemistry Department and she needed a science class so she thought it would be easy and fun to take her father's lowest level class, something he called "Bonehead Chemistry". She got a C and complained to her mother about it. Her mother asked why he gave their daughter a C and her dad replied, "I didn't give her a C, I just wrote it down in the book."

I heard on the news just now that students at colleges around the state (and maybe the country) are walking out of their classes today at noon to protest Donald Trump.

After nearly a weeks of this I think adults (at least chronological adults) are just rolling their eyes at this point.

I can't think of any classes I took in college where attendance was mandatory.
