Excuse for being Absent

One young man told me today that he was absent yesterday because it was raining out. I thought that was an interesting excuse. I find a lack of ability to reason deeply in some of my student. It's as thought they haven't been taught to argue with valid points. They argue with emotions.

The other interesting moment was when a student wouldn't change his seat, and chose to not take an exam because he didn't want to move. Weird kids at times!

lol -- tell that rain kid never to move to Seattle then. He'd be in serious trouble.
