Does This seem fair to you?

Bubba has A's in all of his classes except one. This one? He has an F. Why? Because when they took a test, he was on a school excused absence for wrestling. So he missed the test. The day he missed it, the teacher gave him an automatic zero on the test. So, even though he had A's on every other assignment in the class, the weight of that test being a zero still gave him an F. Fine, whatever, but the deal is, if you miss a test, you have to take it three times as make-up unless you get an A on it the first or second time. So, even though he has taken the test twice now and scored a respectable score, the teacher will not change the grade in the computer until after the third time! Even though he only had to score a 26% to be passing the class. And even though it makes him ineligible to wrestle this weekend. (although, from what I've heard, the coach is letting him wrestle anyway, but I'm not 100% sure about that) Doesn't that seem stupid to you??? And he can only retake the test on Wednesday mornings when they have late start. So he has to now wait until Wednesday to try for the third time!

Seems a little convoluted and ridiculous for an excused absence for a SCHOOL activity. Good grief.

Sounds like a lazy teacher to me.
