15 Minutes

So our school (and the assumption of all colleges) has a nice little policy. If the teacher is late for class and does not show up in the first 15 minutes, you get to leave regardless.

 

Well guess what, it just happened this morning during English. Just counting down the minutes. Oh boy was it fun.

I've heard that in the context of an Urban Legend. Never had a chance to exercise it here on campus. Though some profs. have cut it pretty close.

Convention holds that 5 minutes for a graduate assistant, 10 minutes for a professor, 15 minutes for a Ph.D. If the facilitator of the class is not present during that time, class is assumed cancelled.

 

Convention, but that was not policy at McNeese. If the teacher shows up after that deadline and no one is there, everyone is considered absent.

We have a similar policy at our High School. If the teacher or a replacement teacher (wether that be a subsitute or someone coming in to fill in while until the other teacher gets back) is not in the class within 10 minutes of the sounding of the final bell for class, it is then considered an "open block" for all students in that class. However if the teacher or a replacement teacher were to show after that time, I'm assuming students would be called back (we've had a few close calls, but never had one not make it back in time).

That is an aweso me rule...especially if you can plan it.....the teachers being gone..... and egging on their car or.....a fake call saying their girlfriend and/or wife is pregnant and is giving premature birth......Alas It will never happen..
