Its his right to say no to the request, but even then, if im coming to you saying like yo my country is killing mfers and tomorrow we are going into a lockdown where internet access is being shut off, thats a good reason to be like ok thats an exception to the rule.
Like im coming to you saying my country is going through a literal deadly ass military coup in which babies have gotten shot, can I skip this one exam, and you like nope, no excuses, rules are rules.
Like fuck out of here fam. Thats that teachers thinking they more significant than they really are shit.
Give an average mfer just a little power over other mfers, and shit goes to their head.
