I should never teach on holidays. . .

It's Good Friday or April Break or whatever you want to celebrate but I had so many no shows today that I was getting disturbed. Only consolation is: they still pay! At the beginning of each semester, each student gets a LESSON ATTENDANCE RECORD. This lists all the days we will be having lessons and will NOT be having lessons. I have that today IS a lesson and so no one has an excuse! There are 24 weeks in a semester and if they want to have all the lessons they pay for - then they had better show up. Oh well. This is why I want to teach at home - so I can be doing laundry or something productive if someone doesn't show up. Rather than sit and do nothing.
