@MissCapnCrunch My school was a k-3 to 12th grade. For the 8th down four absences caused you to automatically lose 10 points on your overall grade. 9th to 12th that and you got Saturday School where you had to come on Saturday for a half day and did whatever the teacher told you to do which usually ended up being cleaning up.(Btw everyone was okay with the cleaning thing. Mainly because there were only two people who were consistently cleaning the school and my school was so small it was like a family so we didn't mind helping.) And we also had to pay 25 dollars. 4 tardys also counted as one absence.
Also my school was from 8 to 3 so when I saw that Arrowsmith was doing 7 to 3 I was like. "DX I'd die in these circumstances."
