(e.g. I was feeling “sick”, It was "too much work," I was “busy”, or “I didn’t get it”)
Then your grade will be deducted 20% for every day it is late. For example, if the assignment was due Tuesday and you give it on Wednesday and you were supposed to receive a 100%, you will only get an 80%

2. No one wants to give you one? Wait until we are doing independent work (class work, reading, etc.) and ask me for a pass. You will lose your discussion points.
Then you may leave.
If you do NOT have a legitimate reason (e.g. Laquita wants to leave so he can chill with Juan in the hallways.)
Then you may not leave.
Note: Every time you leave class, you are missing out on an educational opportunity. Avoid going to "guidance" or "telling Ms.Harte something" during class. Do that during lunch or after school.
