Re: Forgetful mom leaves baby to die in hot van...

Sounds like a professor with a power trip.

I still resent some of the professors at that school for their unrealistic expectations. They would tell students that no matter what, no judge anywhere and no court clerk is going to cut you a break, ever, and so they were not going to cut anyone a break, either. One class had the whole semester grade based on a single brief that we wrote. A woman who drove over an hour to school every day left a full hour early on the day the brief was due, so that she could be absolutely certain to be there in time to turn the paper in by 10:00 or whatever time it was. As she was traveling, there was a rockslide on the mountain that she had to travel to get to the school, and because the school was in BFE and had one road in and one road out, she had no other way to get there. She called on her cell phone almost an hour before the paper was due to let them know what was going on, showed up about 3 minutes after the due time, and lost about 30% of her grade. Even the most unreasonable of judges wouldn't penalize an attorney for not being able to make her car fly up and over a rockslide!
