Hey so I have a mega problem at the moment...
So first of all when we started year 11 our school explicitly told us that special provisions, extended due dates or appeal forms would not be given because of stress or anxiety.
and as per the school's assessment policy, you can't be absent from school the day before or day of the assessment without a doctor's certificate.
So my "friend" is constantly using her anxiety as an excuse for not doing her assessment tasks on time and she always is absent on either the day before or the day of every assessment task... like literally every single assessment task for every single subject and she always gets her appeals upheld because of her anxiety but like she literally never starts her assignments or study until like 10pm on the night before an assessment is due so I just think that its completely friggen unfair because like that's literally just laziness.
Like fair enough if you have anxiety but sometimes anxiety is caused by outside factors, such as other people and sometime's its caused by yourself. In this case, she just acts like she doesn't care doesn't care doesn't care all the way up until like 8 hours before the assessment is due, freaks out and then takes a week off. AND GETS HER APPEALS UPHELD AND AN EXTRA WEEK TO THE THE ASSESSMENT TASK!!!!
This week for example... she was out on Saturday (I know this because of her snapchat story) and then had all of Sunday to do her assessment task for Modern and didn't get out of bed until 4:30pm (twitter) and then boasted about how she hadn't started at church that night (friends boyfriend goes to her church) She then posted in our facebook group at 3am "I'm not coming tomorrow. Sorry"
She hasn't been at school all week and under normal circumstances that means she gets zero because its 20% off your mark for every day you hand it in late but her appeal is probably going to be upheld because of her anxiety and it shouldn't be because she lazed around for two weeks, left it till the last minute and then freaked out. Like for crying out loud she's not the only one who left it till the last minute, not the only one who freaked out and definitely not the only one who had stuff on on the weekend... but she is the only one who hasn't done it - and if her appeal gets upheld, she's had an extra week to do it.
Also we have an English assessment tomorrow and she's had the whole week off to prepare for it - and took the day off before an assessment task, which is 20% off.
What can I do? this is ridiculously unfair and she's just using her anxiety as an excuse for her laziness and is getting away with it and as a result is getting better marks in everything because she always has at least two days extra to prepare/do assessment tasks.
