So how does one respond to this email from a student....
Dear Professor,
I apologize for missing class today. The reason I was trying to get a hold of you is to let you know that I was not going to be in class because my fiancee and I were in the delivery room and we had our baby. I was hoping you would allow me to turn in my work. Again, I apologize for missing your class.
Sincerely,
Brand new eighteen-year-old father (not really what he wrote)
Thoughts? Feel free to share. Because I am at a loss....
Oy.
Actually, I replied that it was OK for him to turn in his work. I didn't mention the baby. I didn't feel like I could say congratulations- he's eighteen for crying out loud!
But still sound off!
