In college you’re not going to be able to take days off to get extra time for assignments or to study for exams so you can boost your GPA. If you miss a due date in college, you get a zero.
I realize that many are probably wary because in OP i said no solid reason for absences, but I meant like according to the school’s records, not in actuality. Like my parents do not excuse my absences, including illness, doctors appointments, and death in the family so if colleges were to see it they would see it as no solid reason for the absences. i’m over it though! Just attentively waiting for admission decisions
I understand your viewpoint but someone looking in from the outside will come to their own conclusions. Typically parents have influence over student attendance. Its not about what you think but what someone else will think. Needless to say you have been accepted to college so you have nothing to fret. HIgh school can be rather boring but so can work and so can college classes.
In college you’re not in class 9 hours a day 7 days a week, and is obviously different than high school so I’m not worried about that too much ! I didn’t state that I was absent so I could get my gpa higher or do better, just that that’s what resulted of my absences. I am not the type of person to miss school just to get my GPA to be higher, and thats actually a bit insane to me, haha
You said you have 30 absences with no good reason. Then you say you’ve already been accepted to colleges.
I guess you have your answer - it doesn’t matter.
It is a big deal to me. I didn’t let my kids waste other people’s time by not showing up, by asking others for missed work or notes, for asking teachers to reschedule tests. And it was a lesson well learned by my kids. They don’t miss classes in college either. They don’t take long weekends with their friends, they don’t sleep in and miss classes. Recently my daughter’s college was closed for the hurricane. She was one of 4 kids in class the Thursday before the school closed (school was still open, class was scheduled, the prof showed up and she wouldn’t have dreamed of missing) and she was back before her next class the following Thurs when the school reopened. It would have been easier for her to skip those two days, stayed out of state and just come back the following Monday. That is not our way.
Many employers don’t put up with it either.
@twoinanddone I’ve been accepted to one so it’s not like I have no choices, you know? I don’t know if it matters for the other ones yet, so thats what I was wondering. If I had a parent like you i’m sure my absences wouldn’t be what they are so consider your children lucky that they have someone to make sure they’re on track! I’m not worried about employers as I interned at my local town hall for an entire summer from 9-4, and had perfect attendance. I also have a job and attendance has never been an issue. Kudos to your daughter and am genuinely glad that what u taught her is clearly instilled in her! I just don’t imagine a world where I’d be one of those 4 students and I’m not so sure that I’d be a better person if I was 
We only know what you did write and, as is often the case, any attitude that shows. We are the ones “looking in from the outside” and are giving you a heads up.
The point is the choices you make and whether they fly in college. It won’t be this high school.
Be wise. That’s important, in life.
Just saying, I’m not going to answer anymore comments as some people have given me good instruction to ask my guidance counselor whats on the transcripts! thanks!
