Missing School

I really don't like missing school. It gets you behind in some of your classes and before you know it, you have all of these assignments you need to catch up on. Even if you happen to get the assignments through blackboard or friends, or letting your teachers know in advance and they give you the assignments, it's still hard to do them because you learn the material that you needed to know to do the assignments in class that day, and you obviously weren't there that day. A lot of times people miss school for good reasons, and they don't have a lot of time to do the work needed. For example, yesterday was the Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur. On that day, there is a good amount of serivices to go to, and it is a fasting day. I found it really hard to make up work when all I could think about was food and I was lightheaded and lacking energy as well. I decided to take a break and I had to cram all my work in after the break-fast, when I had something to eat. Some teachers give you an extra day to make up work, but I don't think that's enough. I believe that teachers should give you an extra two days.
