I taught college law enforcement for 20 years, 13 years as program coordinator. My last year, a parent complained that I was the rudest person she’d ever met because I said NO. I said NO to her son, a grown man who wanted to be a police officer but couldn’t call me himself to ask for a make-up exam for a missed make-up exam. He wanted special considerations to do what hundreds of other students were doing without special considerations but missed his chance for his first make-up exam.
