In my first three semesters of teaching college, 15 grandmothers and aunts died. I was distraught. How could my class kill so many relatives of these poor students?!
Then, luckily enough, a miracle! Our department made a policy: To miss anything for a funeral, the student simply had to bring back any form of documentation. Plane Tickets, Funeral Information/invitation, anything of that nature.
After that, a true miracle! Not one more grandparent or aunt died in the rest of my time as a teacher.
