It's the worst in law school. Even worse than high school. Most people are egotistical and competitive

Everyone does.

Nailed it

But that is why there is distance learning and part time learning, for people who cannot attend full time classes.

Exactly

​@@B.entries no it is not. A lot of those programs are not well developed enough yet to provide what is necessary to meet the needs of students. If you can do your assignments, you should get credit. It doesn't matter what you allegedly should have signed up for instead of that class, life ultimately does happen and you shouldn't be punished for being ambitious or having adult responsibilities.

right! my professors have always been so understanding about that since they recognize most students are parents, full time workers, or have issues making it difficult to always be there. i feel some professors really just enjoy the power trip

Are classes mandatory in the us?

Paying for the class doesn’t mean you get to graduate automatically. The other students were right, there is no way she understood the material. They put in the work and were there when plenty of them would rather have worked during that time as well. School is a sacrifice.

@@katejohnson3598 then let her fail the final on her own time.

Well, we can't allow girls to be pretty, talented AND smart now can we? It's too intimidating.

I know many people who ended up buying glamorous houses, but only once they were living in it understood the full weight of the expenses and kind of regretted their decisions, lol! 😆

she sounds like olivia rodrigo

Wtf is smart about spending money to learn how to save money? That's literally what accountants are for 😂

Would you be okay with a doctor who never showed up for his classes while in their pre-med program? Just no. Attendance is mandatory. She should have showed up to class. Professors don't care in college, they have over 100 students they mist tend to at a time

Oh ok grow up 😂

@women supremacy ( men can fck themselves ) Ok, so you think that no one else is busy in that class then? I was in school full time while also being the sole provider of my household. I had to take care of my disabled mother, my underage brother, and a dog. My commute was over 2 hours to Boston. But guess what? I still went every single day, and on time. I had a daily battle with anxiety/depression while I was a student and even considered taking my own life because I would wake up every single day without my situation improving. I had too many people depending on me at the same time. I had no room for errors. My mom's child support was expiring in 2019 (2 months before my anticipated graduation date) and my college job wouldn't have been enough to support 3 adults, a dog, and a mortgage. This is the life of many college students. We're all poor. And everyone is dealing woth their own problems when they come home. Life events don't stop while you're in student status. My grandmother died mid-semetser and I had to mourn her death within 2 days. I also got in a near-fatal car accident and totaled my car. I also had a painful lower back injury that took over 5 months to recover and I would cry everytime I had to bend over and put on my shoes. All these events occurred while being a full time student. It's not fair for the professor to give some students special treatment. Then the students may notice and call the professor out on favoritism, neopitism, having unprofessional relations w/ students, etc. if she's THAT busy, then she should apply to online school instead. Or not enroll in school at all if she can't make the time. When I was in school I didn't have the option in working full time due to a heavy workload. And no, social media influencing and acting in a tv show is not the same work as manual/physical labor. Also find it annoying that this actress took away someone else's spot who would have appreciated their enrollment in the course she flunked out on. There is a clear difference between students who actually want more than a degree, and actually want to learn from their professors. If you are the type of person who can teach yourself, just purchase the goddamn book on Amazon or something! Because your tuition is paying your teachers' salaries.

@women supremacy ( men can fck themselves ) its not real hard work if you can't show up to class everyday. Also it's not just one test it was her final exam.

@@Stormy_Cloud -_-

Had to scroll all the way down to your comment to see the "J" word...Happen in the work place as well and everybody is trying to pretend that it's everything but...Been there...

She is entitled and wanted to be treated differently (aka special) because she is an actress. Being entitled and wanting to be treated differently it’s not about jealousy. it is about fairness. The teacher is probably sick and tired of her missing class and trying to get away with things that’s all.

@@LNatureblush College is adults. What anyone else is doing is none of their business and doesn’t affect them. She wasn’t entitled if she asked and someone said ok. To be working hard for a class and then be told you can’t take a final is petty. She basically wasted time and money and it wasn’t on her.

​@@LNatureblushyou are the standard for jealousy because we ALL can feel you projecting, it's Adults no one gives a shit if you're there or not majority of the time as long as YOU understand because the other students may attend everyday but still can't understand the subject, while you do but aren't attending all the classes like them, imagine you're working to attend the classes in the first place and they don't want you there for an important exam because they can't get they act together? That's envy and jealousy

@@peggybaby0894 Are you sure it doesn't affect them? A lot of the colleges sometimes grade on a curve. So it may skewer the grading. I am appalled that folks are defending a celebrity so that they can have special treatment and treat the entire class unfairly...shocked. Sorry but the professor doesn't have to allow it and he/she shouldn't just because she is an actress. Trust me if you were in that class, you would have a problem who is given special treatment and that would be unfair to you and everyone else.

Uh, it true. Most classes I've taken don't check for attendance at ALL.

You’re right. That was the hardest part of college. Showing up. The academics was a lot of studying, but not hard. Most ppl have to sacrifice work for school. I did. Tell this to the single mother putting herself through school. We can’t miss work either. I do agree that should be changed though I always thought it was the most ridiculous rule. If you are paying and passing the tests without cheating what is the problem??? Colleges are really THE problem.

lol What? If your school allows crap like that you need to switch. That's archaic.

​@@matthewmurphy8272 no it's not, you've actively taken a spot from someone that could've been there. You should 100% be forced to attend if you're gonna take that class otherwise let someone else take your spot so they can actually learn

Don't attend those colleges! What they're really saying is, "I don't care that you are an autodidact, I want you to hear my subjective bias on these topics, damnit!"

Most schools are just employee training centers. They don't want people to be used to any other ways of making a living, that's why they don't reward you purely based on your abilities and mastery of the subjects, they have to make you act like a good employee who shows up on time everyday just so you can have the opportunity to demonstrate your abilities and mastery.

​@@DookyButter Why not? Seems idiotic. If you can pass then you can pass. Whats the point of learning something you already know? The point of the test is just to prove that you know it.

@@LeonLindProductions Ever heard of CLEP. If you don’t need instruction for the course because you already know it, you take a test and get the credits.

Professors that require attendance are generally the worst professors

Some teachers allow it some teachers don’t.

@@Jessie12N for me it depended on the class. And a lot of teachers post their lessons online.

I feel like they can really do whatever they want once you pay

@@Mvegvn that's not how it works but yes many profs have this mindset

CRAZY!!

Idk why teachers won't let students take their test if they miss some of their classes. Like some students actually pay out of pocket for their school tuition y'know. This always rubbed me the wrong way cuz like once I went to the school counselor at my local college and they wouldn't refund me a class I paid for out of pocket that was cancelled. Like common, you take a lot money away from us at least give us the shot to take the test. Like us don't have reliable transportation or just the funds to continue school.

Yes, sadly, cuz college isn't just about payment and studying for finals..Like, on my college you had to listen to atleast 85-90% of classes, do whatever activities, take regular both individual and group assingments etc to be allowed to take the finals..However, even if professor would allow someone to come to finals they most likely wouldn't be able to pass it without all the previously mentioned as it all gives you the points needed to pass the said exam. We did have people who rly needed to work alot aside of college hence often unable to attend it all on which professors/assitents would basically tell them "Well, you need to choose between your job and college"..which seems shitty considering some rly have no choice, but it is how it is.🤷‍♀️

yea but she never got informed beforehand that she wont be able to take the final, if she knew it was a rule (which it was not at her school) im sure she wouldnt have gone to take it

Not all mandatory courses offer asynchronous options. If more is expected of you because of adulthood, you would think the professor would use a little critical thinking to understand that she is managing working a full time job and still understanding the material in the course. It doesn't mean she is putting in less effort than the other students, but likely the opposite.

​@@matthewmurphy8272 Well, you could always postpone your degree. If not, that's the decision you have to make. Of whether you continue your degree. Or keep doing a full-time job. You can't always have your cake & eat it, too. But in today's society, it's more often the case.

No it does not matter how much effort the other students are putting in this isn't a job it's school each person is responsible for themselves if she can pass without needing to go to the class then that is qcceptable

u are so right bicurious dirt bike boy

Right I would've went to the dean. If that's not in the Syllabus that attendance is mandatory to take the test then he was just on a power trip. Like its college you are getting paid whether the students show up or not

She should have went to the principal hinestly

School probably doesn't say that. Many colleges have attendance requirements. Probably her prof was gonna make an exception then everyone else got butt hurt. Or she just assumed it would be OK without checking.

​@@destinymcgowan5328most schools have a minimum requirement to sit for the exam. Even attendance. So I don't know why you're complaining or acting as if this is new.

Well in Drew’s defense, she was doing coke at nine.. and clearly can’t relate to going to school =]

Wellllllll, there are rules for the class. It was like when I was in college. There really is no way for the professor to determine that she had learned the material that she needed to learn, even if she passed the final. All I’m saying is I would prefer to have a nurse who was there for all of her schooling versus us a nurse who is there for partial

@@tw2667 Learning through an in-person lecture doesn't mean you have a better understanding of the material though. Most often, the lecture is just reading through the course material which can absolutely be done on one's own time. If assignments are being completed and passing grades are achieved, it's no different than taking the course online and those degrees are just as valid.

@@viivalabamf not all classes are the same and some, as you get further into the degree… require you to be hands-on. I literally had to be on campus my last year, for my capstone classes. While yes, there are classes you can learn online, I would argue that you cannot fully master one subject online depending on the profession. (Aka medial vs non medical)

@@tw2667 She was going for a business degree, so I highly doubt there's "hands-on" learning that absolutely can't be done anywhere else.

@@viivalabamf yes but my original point is that classes have rules. If she knew she was going to be taking time out like that, then she should’ve taken online classes. To assume that a professor will bend their policy because you are doing something simultaneously, is entitlement. If I was in her class, I’d be pissed too. That’s just my take.

not really its just logical. If everyone did well then everyone would be allowed to miss class to focus on other things. But you are at school to focus in school. Use common sense 🤦🏽‍♂️jesus. She is not special.

@@yochips848 That’s ridiculous, since she is special; her case is a unique one and so should be treated as such. I barely went to any lectures and still graduated with honours. As long as you know the material you can pass the test. Everyone should have the opportunity to take the test as long as they are enrolled in the class.

@@yochips848 there is a way to speak to a person. We know there are rules . It’s obvious . It’s just kind of… weird that the teacher didn’t pull her off to the side and speak to her privately. You use the word logical, and I say the teacher tried to embarrass her … which to me is rude .

@@saehisaya plus I had a student that did a lot of community work for her church and she still graduated , even though she was barely at school. You have a point .

@@saehisaya 😂😂😂😂😂 “Unique” naw she isn’t. That would mean that anyone else doing well should have the right to do so. There were probably people doing better than her who do not get that treatment.

She’s not a good actress but at least she has other skills

Not a good actress??. She was the one who showed raw emotions in euphoria. Not any euphoria cast could beat her. She can make people mad just by acting. Don't know whts your standards are fr acting

She doesn’t really play the dumb blonde though. She plays a broken teenager with self-worth issues.

@@Jimochi13500she is literally the reason Euphoria has become a hit (along with Zendaya but like Zendaya is already a star)

Precisely. Most tutors do not give a shit as long as you have a good attitude and know the material. I didn’t go to many lectures but I did talk with the lecturers extensively outside of class which just affirmed to them that I knew the material better than everyone else. I just had better things to do with my time than go to some stupid lecture.

That was 100% a power trip. I’ve had professors show up and just read their slides for hours. That’s basically just wasting my time. I rather read it myself than have someone read it aloud for me and think its “teaching”.

Exactly this. She was valedictorian too so studying and attaining knowledge clearly isn’t a struggle for her, she probably would have aced that test and that teacher and students couldn’t stand it. There is no way an honest professor would allow that talk from ADULT students.

she doesn’t deserve to take the test just because she wants to. if everybody else needs to follow the rules so do you. just because you think you’re some hotshot doesn’t change that

@@mags506 She did follow the rules. Unfortunately she was hampered by a jealous egotistical teacher.

I don't know though because if the policy of the college is that if you are not in attendance for a certain amount of time, that would automatically constitute as failing. Taking a final won't change that. That's how my community college was, so if she went to an actual uni, I'd imagine they'd be ever more strict. If that's policy, and she broke policy, they can't do anything in her favor because she should've been in class. It's not fair that she got the option of catching up on her own pace, being able to make money and pursue an interest while the other kids were forced to be in class, missing shifts and opportunities. Think about it from their perspective and you'd be annoyed, too. Sure, she's paying to attend, but so are they and it's totally not fair for them to have to pay all of that, and someone else gets a pass because they're an aspiring actor. Think about the kids that work full time, while being a student full time. She gets to pass on class, to fulfill a dream, but they can't pass on class to make sure their rent is paid and their fridge is stocked? That is extremely one sided. It's dumb that college still has attendance requirements when they preach about adulthood, and how everything is digital nowadays, but again, policy is policy.

FR

My former professor he said in the past that he never counted attendance bc he tried to be understanding, but he had a lot of the students who didn't show up to class but did good on important assignments or projects would cheat. Now, he makes attendance mantory. That way, he knows what pace we r at based on participation, assignments we did in class, and doing workday he pulls every student to aside and asks us questions about our projects to know what we know.

i’m so sorry

i cannot understand the inhumanity. definitely would complain at a higher level

I'm so sorry too...I agree, universities have things in place when a student has extenuating circumstances. you should speak to someone else, a student coordinator or the like in your faculty. they can't fail you when you have a genuine reason for not attending. they would be able to give you extensions on assignments if you need them, and even defer exams if needed. never be afraid to ask :)

@@hiloo917 thank you ❤️

And most of us literally work like kale it make sense

​@@marieso2293yeah, everyone hates you until they benefit from your hard work. I hope she told them to fuck off.

Exactly

You are Absolutely right. Some Classes also have different way of giving credits, like the final exam must be 60% of your Grade, how active you are is around 20%, projects + homework 20%, on which you are required to attend 75% of the Seminars (not lectures). It’s just one example, and it’s the right to the Professors and the law department of the university to make those rules, there are many different ways of combining those. If this was the case , and she was there to only take the exam but wanted full credit then she is just narcissist. There are Students who are working full time, and showing up for every class, so if she wanted special treatment then the professor should let those other students have the same treatment. Her story lacks a lot of information it sounds based. If the professor did something that was not allowed she could have complained, and problem solved but it looks like the professor was right, because she is complaining in the internet about it.

This

Think about it from their perspective though. She gets to miss class to pursue a dream? But they have to be in class, by policy because it's mandatory, missing out on their own opportunities and shifts? She gets a pass because she might make it in Hollywood, but they have to be in attendance, when they could be making more money to gurantee their rent is paid and their fridge is stocked? That is unfair. Sure, she is paying, but she also went against policy. That being that if you miss a certain amount of lecture hours, you automatically fail. They're paying, too, and they don't get the luxury of being able to catch up on their own time and pace. It is unfair. If y'all were in that class, y'all would be annoyed, too. You guys never want to see the perspective of all sides. Just go straight to "those hard working college kids, are jealous because the pretty girl is making it in Hollywood! How dare they request fair treatment of policy follow-through and enforcements!"

Yea it’s the same as mu university.

Maybe the kids were upset that she was being given special treatment.

could be that. she could've just added that last part to make her story more interesting

same to my uny.. 75% attendace so u can have a final test

yeah it's like that all over india

I mean I was in a college class with Nicole maines, the first transgender superhero on cw. And we were all happy for her when she went on a Ted talk or had an audition. We wished her luck and she still took her final cuz she had an agreement with her professors.

There's also part time or reduced time that you aren't required for 80% attendance. A lot of actors do the same thing she does like Yari Shahidi and was still able to graduate, that's actually illegal especially if she has accommodations.

Well in my country also did this. Student can only skip 2 times class more than that it'll be risky for them that can not to be given a pass exam. I mean like what's the matter if you go to college and never attending the class?

It shouldn’t matter if a student shows up or not. If they do well on the final, then they do well on the final. The point is to learn the information, not to be a sheep.

Same

​@@nakedholeratYou know that final is not everything right? Most classes in my uni the final only give 40-50% and the rest are mid semester exams and other coursework. Which mean you have higher chance to fail the subject if you don't do other works.

There is. I knew people who did that with a few classes before the semester even started. It’s called a CLEP test. She’s making this up or exaggerating for attention.

I took a math class got an A on the final but didn’t pass because I didn’t finish all the homework.

@@KennBankssnot necessarily. All of my professors (graphic design and studio art) counted attendance as a large portion of my grade. The most common rule (even across the 2 diff schools I attended) was if you missed more than 3 classes (being late by more than 10 mins counted as absence too) you’d drop a whole letter grade.

@@alien_cult your right in most schools attendance is a big factor in the grade but we’re saying she should have tested out of the class.

Especially in a place where there offering entertainment law to undergrad’s they must come upon this issue often

this 100%. i’m wondering if this is the truth, that the school requires a certain amount of attendance and she’s pitching the story as “kids being upset”. wonder what school this was, because “kids being upset” about a lot of things don’t matter to the schools rule making policies.

@@yochips848 also - if SHE paid for the class, can afford the time off, whilst also being able to keep up while juggling acting…what’s exactly the issue? she CHOSE to multitask & did what was expected of her grade wise.

Exactly attendance is a normal thing in every college class I’ve taken.

I never had to do this in any class of mine lol I feel sorry for you guys.

pathetic. College is full of stuck-up professors with no humanity. I can't wait til AI makes professors obsolete. They deserve every bit of it.

American colleges are losing attendance and enrollment because compared to Asian schools or European school they do not seem to be specialized or allow much flexibility in terms of life circumstances or allowance for competing interests.

I disagree. It's not fair that all the other students take the initiative to arrive to class everyday. But this one student didn't attend class, and was expecting special treatment because she's a celebrity? Because she has better things to do? Lol ok 👍

that’s not fair she pay her money to the school monthly she comes to school when she is there , study and passing her classes . NOT MISSING SCHOOL on some out partying but to do more work! That’s a Hard Worker ! she doing something a lot of folks can’t to she juggling a lot ..it’s a personal problem to me if you can’t keep up your grade to pass .. it’s enough room for everyone to graduate that’s , and at the end of the day tho I BET SHE GET JUSTICE AS SHE SHOULD .. she did her part at the end of the day ..

and sometimes it’s financially hard on other students who may not have it like that , let alone a vehicle to get to class .. everyone got different backgrounds different stories but the world need to work on being more open mind .. Also there is a such thing for taking test early with the state if you think yk yk . some people have went to take state boards for being a cna , cosmetologist, chief, inspector, scientist .. some people are born gifted of memory

I agree

If attendance was in the syllabus, then it's required. There are a couple of incidents such as accidents and God forbid deaths, but for movies, no. That would be super unfair for the other students .

@@Baroline Yes! Esp for someone who loves school and was valedictorian… so she’s saying she’s smart but also is playing dumb. Every nerd (myself included) knows to communicate with their professors. And that attendance matters. She’s saying “they are just jealous of my success.” Like girl what. That’s not how college works. A more realistic storyline is that she missed too much class. There was an attendance policy for the course. And so she couldn’t take the final exam. The end. But she needed a fun story to tell on television so that’s what we got.

​@@anotherrainymonday820lmfao you are dumb. embellished? what i got from this story is that she would have been allowed to take the exam INSPITE of her absences but some butthurt losers like you decided to whine about it.

Took too long to find this comment. It sounds like she’s making up straight bs

@@Barolinein college other students literally do not care about you. i doubt they even noticed her existence in the class and they certainly don’t care if other students show up or not.

Ahh yes, I found my people.😂😂😂 reading half these comments makes me wonder if anyone being like, “Ugh, yasss queen, they’re just jelly of you! You are totally the victim!” have ever actually been to college. I’m pretty sure most colleges have an attendance policy and then from there professors can either show more leniency or be even stricter. The policy where I went was you could miss double the amount of times your class met a week, per semester. So like, if the class met 3x a week, you could miss 6 classes for the semester. I had some teachers who did not give a shit. And others that were like, “You can’t miss any.” And every single class had a syllabus that stated the attendance policy. And again, depending on the teacher, they’re going to tell you, “I’m not your mommy or daddy. You need to take responsibility for yourself. It’s not my job to tell you where you need to be and when.” And as far as just letting her take the exam, why would the professor let her take the exam when she was already failing the class? Why is he going to spend time grading something that means nothing?

No im pretty sure she was baffled by Sydney saying she likes school 💀

short is only 45 seconds you’re tapping out ya ass

whatt

I 1000% wouldn't make the statement "most colleges in the world"

Her work requires her to leave the state often for filming though, and as long as she pays her bills to the school, hands over all the papers she needs and passes the exams, I don't see any reason why she can't complete the course, her or anyone. I mean, she payed for it all

That says more about the school then her. Attendace shouldn't matter as long as you catch up and can follow and pass exams without it

@@LeeLe412 others might have job opportunities they can’t take because they have to attend uni. This is just special treatment for a celeb and nothing else

@@leee777 what special treatment? She said they didn't allow her to attend the test. I think that as long as anyone, celeb or no, hands over papers on time, pays tuition and passes the test, there is no reason to stop them from finishing their course.

@@LeeLe412 allowing her to take the exam without the attendance would be special treatment.

The class probably had a minimum attendance requirement. At my school, if we missed a certain amount of classes it was an automatic fail. That was probably how it was for her class, and the students didn’t think it was fair that she would’ve been able to pass the class while being excused for not showing up and not being penalized for missing classes.

​@@Vivian-ho1xuyeah she blamed it on her anonymous clasmates rather than single out a professor. But im 99% sure that there is an attendance requirement that she forgot about because she's "so good at school" anyway.

@@seraby7151be fr if they cared so much abt her attendance they would’ve kicked her out lol

@@miralol1080 Maybe they gave her accommodations for missing classes to do acting and the students thought that wasn’t fair (bc its really not) so they probably rightfully complained. I could be wrong but whatever happened was the fault of the school or the professor, not the students

The point of college is getting tested on what you learned IN CLASS or with the outside content of the class, if you don't attend the classes you are getting tested on what? Your knowledge about what?

Still doesn’t take away from letting a student down and not letting them take the exam

i dont get why, i can understand like a very low baseline level, but if grades arent dipping, I don't really get why the schools would care? like the kids are already paying for the year, doesn't affect them, and if they miss vital things from the lesson, that's entirely their problem, and up to them to make up, if their grades suffer, thats reason to punish ig

​@@0tocci029 she probably didn't meet attendance requirements.

But the way she said it, it doesn't seem there was an attendance requirement, just that the students were upset so the professor took their side

@@0tocci029 usually the professor or someone will notify you that you are not allowed to take the final
