Sample Lesson III
:
To the students
: Please read this short selection and the complete the worksheet.
When students miss too many school days due to
chronic
illness, hospitalization or other medical reasons, they may lose school credit, may have to repeat a course, or even an entire grade in school. Such unfortunate
circumstances
may be no one’s fault, just a
reality
of life. Schools may
assess
the progress of such students and give them credit for the course work missed if the student can
demonstrate
knowledge of the materials.
On the other hand
, the schools may require a
repetition
of the grade or the course. Either
alternative
would be considered reasonable
in the eyes of the law
, and local school policy will control the situation. (Parents, Schools and The Law, p 30)
