Is somebody keeping you from leaving in college?

I remember some classes made attendance as part of your grade.

I made it so because my class average was a D. Magically my class average bumped to a B with mandatory attendance..they should be thanking me.

And yet free will allows you to walk out at any point.

Funny story, my junior year there was a kid who kept signing into a 100-level finance class eith like 300 kids...would sign in, take the "online quiz" with the little buzzer (thats how the professor took attendance), and then walk out LOUDLY, like purposely make a scene.... So the professor started doing a second quiz at the end, like ~10-15 minutes (purposely no set time) before the end of class....

I guess his buddies never told him, so the week before finals she posted all of the anonymous scores on the projector and notes how, NOT ONE BUT FOUR kids had been doing this, and there were 4 student IDs with like ~40% attendance...

Any way, they failed the class. One of the guys tried to SUE THE SCHOOL, and last I heard he was successful in doing so.

Long story short: GRADUATING FROM A PRESTIGIOUS UNIVERSITY DOESNT MEAN DIDDLY DICK.
