Should I stay or should I go?

Question

I have a class field trip tomorrow for law class, but going there would mean losing out on two things:
1. A math test that is heavy.
2. A gym class which would mean that if I'm not present, I could lose marks.

If I don't go on this law trip, I will drop my mark considerably because the trip actually is marked.

It's pretty much a lose/lose situation for me. I could do the test on the day after but I am afraid the teacher wouldn't let me.


What should I do? I need help?

Answer 1

Is Law your major?
Or is Math your major?
If Law is your major, go on the field trip and take care of the math later, even if it's uncomfortable (accepting the 2 losses and perhaps taking make up classes to bring the grades up).
You're the winner in this situation moment you make your decision based on which has the greatest, broadest value to your future plans.
Consider not only the grades gained, but the esteem earned and possible contacts made by each option.
Best wishes, have a star.

Answer 2

Truthfully if i were you i would just go on the field trip because... hey your getting out of math class, even better a math test! And plus teachers have to give you a day to makeup your test because you weren't there. And I'm sure you can just get a note from your parents explaining you were going on a school organized field trip or something.

GO ON THE FIELD TRIP! =)

Answer 3

Talk to your math and gym teacher. The field trip can't be made up, but both of the others could be. You really should have had this discussion last week, but if you have time before the trip leaves, talk to them tomorrow. At the very least, send each of them an email apologizing for waiting until the last minute to ask to be excused. If you can't reach them by email, actually hand-carry a letter to school for each of them to be dropped into their mail box by office staff.
