Now i ask you to answer this truthfully, as if you were in my shoes. But i know ill prolly get alot of sarcasm. So i was truent to my 1st period because i was suppose to get my immunity shots updated for school. Turns out no one could take me. Two days later i go to the dean of students to find out i have a 3 hour detention after school. No warnings or reminders to bring in the note. Use to do that last year when iwas sick but not this time. Is this far?

( shouldve brought your note)

I don't honestly find that reasonable. If you had a reason for not being able to do it on time (legitimate reason) than they should take that into account and not just go straight to punishment

I think what you're trying to say is that you skipped school because you didn't want to get a vaccine shot. Now you're being punished because you skipped, despite the lack of a warning or other notice, am I correct?

I'm guessing English isn't your first language, so I'm having a little difficulty interpreting your statement.

Seems fair that there was a punishment.Edit - also a bit unclear on all the details. Why did you miss first period exactly? Like what were you doing during that time?

Woops. Ok so i was suppose to get a ride from my mom to get shots at my doctor ( didnt know til a day later that i could just go in by myself and get the shots, which i ended up doing two days later) So i called, dad was at work and woke my mom up to ask if she could take me. she was all pi*** and said its not her job. So called my dad, told him whats up, and said to just go back to school. So i got at school at the start of 2nd hour. First two hours are Substance Abuse and Japanese 1 so i dont see why i would skip that when i have AP US and other stuff later. Just to be clear

It is rather unfortunate but you probably should have given proper notification beforehand.Also it would have been best to go during nonschool hours.

i don't think the school's punishment is reasonable, but unfortunately, most schools have this "zero tolerance" policy which is really stupid.

School sucks, deal with it. Put up with it and get good grades - your future quality of life depends on it.

...I'm unsure if "substance abuse" means you have a class about it, or that you're out abusing it.

You failed to turn in a note. The school shouldn't have to make sure you are doing your obligation if you want to have the absence be excused.......

The first step in actually enjoying your life is to not think of matters in terms of 'fairness'. You'll save yourself some heartache.

vaccinations are redundant.
