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? ðŸ˜
Random question (reposting with a flair this time): I’m curious about American schools and some other educational systems around the world. Do they offer subjects like Life Orientation (grades 4-12) and EMS/Tech (grades 7-9) that students must complete before selecting their courses in the higher grades (grades 10-12)?

Communication is key, and teachers often appreciate when students are open about their obligations. Good luck!
