Reply #23: Incomplete - These students could have been given Incompletes

and allowed to pick up the classes at the point they left them the following semester. The more humane thing to do however, would have been for the professors to put out a little effort of their own to help these students make up the missed work. Two weeks? Give me a break.

I guess the NOLA victims should have accepted the consequences of the flood with a little more grace, as well? Sometimes, some of you academics are just a little too full of yourselves - getting on this little power trip with these young people. See, if these students were older students, such as myself, their professors would have felt a whole lot of heat around them about the whole mess way before grades came out. I'd start at the dean's office, work my way to the president of the university and then on to the local news, if I had to. Somebody would let me make up my labs and exams.
