certainly course days entire equal frustrated missed quit repeat school student
It's not ideal, and it's certainly not equal to being in school every day. But it's a better alternative than having to repeat an entire course because you missed two days over the limit. And it's a better alternative than having that student get frustrated and quit school altogether.
