color=#0000ff size=2>Biddeford Adult Ed also builds in extra hours. We do
have a clinical make-up day for anyone that misses clinical as well as a
classroom 'skills' make up day if necessary (We do not tell them this up
front!!) I also have them make up time, if class time, by going to the
local library, having the librarian sign it, confirming they were there &
have them do a project or some type of presentation on a disease, procedure,
etc. Probably childish, but it seems to work. If they miss 3
days...they are out!!! But they do need to make up any hours missed one
way or another.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
