<p>How do you guys deal with being sick? For instance, I'm sick this week... I had a project due yesterday and a test today. My grades are slipping partly due to the fact that I'm just missing all the lectures because I keep falling sick, and am loaded with make up and regular homework when I get well. It's really annoying (thankfully I was not sick during AP weeks) and I often don't get sympathy from teachers who usually expect me to have <em>all</em> of the homework done the very day I go back to school.</p>
<p>I actually prefer the idea of missing tests because then I don’t miss notes, but I don’t do it because teachers don’t like students who miss tests.
I never miss turning in projects. Even if I know I’m being honest and I finished it on time, teachers hate that and are presumptuous, so I email it, have my parents bring it in, or I only come in to bring the project.</p>
<p>To try to make it easier on myself I bring some work home with me and do that while I’m out sick. To make up for notes and lectures, I stay after school, or if I can, I come to another bell and hear the teacher give them the same notes, or I copy notes from someone who I know takes down everything the way that I do.</p>
<p>I don’t get sick often. But when I do, I still go to school because having to makeup work is horrible. It feels like you’ll never catch up. But I don’t go to school though if i have like a 101 fever. < 101 then I’ll go. Or I’ll just skip first period and come later at 2nd period.</p>
