Fires In the Bathroom Chapter 4

Chapter 4

In chapter 4, Porsche talks about how if you don’t turn something in, then the teacher wont give you makeup work. Porsche thinks its unfair.

I tend to mostly disagree with Porsche on this point. I see where she is making a good argument but let me defend the teacher for a second. There should be no need for makeup work, if the students couldn’t get it in on time. If there was an extenuating circumstances then that would be an obvious exception but when there is none, I don’t see what is bad about taking off points. No one is going to give you makeup work in the real world when you don’t get your stuff done. This teacher wouldn’t be helping her students by letting them slide by turning things in whenever.
