Excuses, Excuses

Excuses, Excuses Even though approximately apologys for good tour of duty in engagement after-hours as seen in The Dog ingest My Disk, and early(a) Tales of Woe by Carolyn value Segal, some relieves given argon rightful(a) for turn in late(a) work. intimately unforeseeable tied(p)ts, such as art adventures, close in the family, weather that causes an evacuation, and a fire argon yet a few are all exits that assimilators mess non control, which result in turning in late work. It is Monday morning, educatees are on their way to the first class stage of the day, their paper is repayable first affair as they walk in the door.Tragedy strikes on their way to school as a mo-torists runs a red light, t-boning the students car and do a major accident. besides the stu-dent could endure emailed the assignment to the professor, this professor only accepts copies in pe-rson. The student did non predict the accident he/she would be involved in this morning, or maybe h e/she would pee-pee left a little later, or a little earlier, or even taken a different passageway to school that day. Family members arrive atting into an accident could go either way, depending on who the family member is and where they are located.If a distant cousin from 4 hundred miles away gets into a buffer store bender, instructors entrust probably be really skeptical to accept late work. However a mother, father, or immediate family member, gets into an elevator car accident could be an acceptable excuse for turning in late work. A finale in the family is a in truth tragic occurrence and could have some(prenominal) different effects on the student and their work they are planning to turn in. Segal states What heartless student would lie, wish terminal on a revered family member, just to avoid a deadline? (461) Hopefully no student would use a death in the family to avoid a deadline. cobblers last is not to be taken lightly, nor apply in a demeaning manner. Se gal to a fault says, What heartless teacher would dare to scruple a students grief or ingenuousness? (461). Hopefully no teacher or professor would call their students let out or question that their was a death in their family. Letting the professor know barely what is going on and when the student will turn in their paper is a proper course of action, to avoid receiving an F for the assignment or incomplete in the class.Nothing is more frightening than having to pack bags and quash due to serious and catastrophic weather. Students and teachers, not knowing what to expect when the storm passes, or what damage could come of their campus or environ areas. When a storm is a create from raw stuff miles away and expecting to reach in the bordering week, students are not worried well-nigh an assignment, they are localiseed on packing the must haves when evacuating and arriving somewhere out of harms way. most(prenominal) teachers probably allow students to turn their work in after the storm has passed and in one case the school opens back up to level(p) hours.Weather is a unstable force, the storm could hit further away or not be as strong as anticipated, but students do not focus on their school work at this time. Giving them a lawful excuse for not turning their work in on time, because they were forced to evacuate due to storms and unforeseeable damages that may occur. Fires smash many homes and buildings each year, leaving the occupants without a roof over their head. In the event of a fire, people are taught not to try and save anything from their houses, dorms, and apartments.Their main object is to get to safety, and let the fire department do their job at snuff out the fire. A student that is the victim of a fire, should be allowed to turn their work in late, especially if they have lost most if not all of their things in the fire. sunshine night, the student is putting the finishing touches on their paper due Monday morning, and their com puter crashes, not allowing them to save any material to a disc, or thumb drive set up be very upsetting. The student arrives in class and tells their professor that the reason they are not turning their paper in was because their computer crashed the night before.This could happen, and not allow the student adequate time to go to their nearest computer lab or library on campus and redo their paper. This ballpark occurrence with computers and technology could give the students an credit to resubmit their assignment at a later day. This would be at the profess-ors prudence of course, or the professor could ask for induction that the action that did happen, truly did happen. This returns to the question from the death in a family section, just in different words Would a teacher actually question, why a student is turning their work in late or not.Excuses are thrown roughly colleges and schools like jokes at a comedy club. Some excuses are just anomalous and just a reason for st udents to get out of doing their assignments others are legitimate reasons as to why they are not turning their assignment in. The bad excuses make the legitimate excuses seem untrue and just other excuse, that students will use to get out of an assignment. Work Cited Segal, Carolyn Foster.
