rude but being assertive? I arrived at school about 25 minutes late. It was the only time I have been late in years. I had 3 tests that day. I was studying before school and I realized I needed a little more time to prepare. So I came in late. The first class period ended about twenty minutes after I got there. I went to the attendence office when I arrived to get a tardy slip and the lady there told me to wait until the next class period and then go to class. As a result I got an unexcused absence. While I was gone the teacher gave a short quiz in the last few minutes of class. Since I was unexcused, I cannot make up the quiz. I am responsible, smart, polite, and well organized.
So, I have to go to the lady at the attendance office and say that I got marked absent when I was actually tardy because of her.
I need this problem fixed. I have been putting it off. I am really shy. I am afraid the lady will refuse to change my absence and I will be too afraid to tell her this is her fault. I really do not want to make a fuss or have to complain to the principal.
Do you have any suggestions for how I should act or say?
Thanks
