Passover and Good Friday? Sure it was an excused absence but I would have missed a lot of work! I don’t understand why it couldn’t have been a day off of school. There were very few people in my classes and I feel sorry for them because they have a ton of work to make up. It doesn’t seem right. Anyway, happy Good Friday everyone!
Courtney,
I agree with you!
Where I am from, Good Friday is an official given holiday in ALL the country and in ALL the schools, so when I heard that UM was not officially giving it I was kind of amazed, shocked and in a way sad too! I mean, my family came all the way from Argentina to see me for this special holiday and I still had to go to class!
I know, just like you said, the school excuses the absence but anyways if we miss the class we miss loads of important stuff we NEED to know.
