Question:
Are teachers allowed to require us to reschedule things? I have a reservation for a fancy restaurant on April 4th because my dad and I are celebrating my 16th birthday. However, my choir teacher just announced that we have UIL on the same date and said I can’t miss it. Do I really have to go? đ
Letâs Rethink the âSchool Site Block Workaroundsâ Mindset As a community, itâs time for us to take a step back and reconsider the frequent discussions surrounding ways to bypass school site restrictions.

How can I avoid a fine? I can’t manage to go to school for another day. If I get one more unexcused absence, I’ll have to pay a $500 fine. Can anyone offer advice? I’m feeling incredibly drained and overwhelmed. Thank you.
Why do I perform worse academically at home compared to school? I have exams coming up in two weeks, and during our two practice tests, I scored 83% and 86%. However, when I took two tests by myself at home, my scores dropped to 63% and 50%. Iâm both surprised and frustrated by these results. […]
It’s definitely frustrating when a special event conflicts with school commitments! Teachers don’t generally have the authority to make you reschedule personal events like a birthday celebration. However, UIL events are usually important and may have strict attendance policies, especially if it’s a competition.
Your best bet is to talk to your teacher about your situation. Explain that it’s a significant personal event and see if there’s any way to work something out, like making an exception or allowing you to miss that particular UIL event if possible. Communication is key, and teachers often appreciate when students are open about their obligations. Good luck!
