now the little shits know they can get away with it. way to go.
Um, what? College/university doesn't work that way - you don't get "detention" anymore once you're an adult. That's just silly. It's up to your own volition when you miss class and when you don't - attendance policies are up to the discretion of the teacher and the student doesn't have to say anything about not being present. The only time you would would be if you missed a test or if you've used up your allotted absences (in the rare cases when the teacher imposes a limit).
I do agree, though, that the teacher shouldn't have postponed the class. I mean, it depends on the number of students, but unless it's a sizeable majority the class schedule shouldn't have been altered. There's no way in hell any of my teachers would have done that, regardless of how cool or understanding they were. Different set of priorities, I guess.
