I am taking my time with this decision.

I think you should appreciate his honesty and let him take it with no points off. He's either stupid for telling you and is going to fail anyway or has an admirable moral code.

It is not admirable to forget you have a test and skip class. There has to be some sort of punishment for that. Someone has to pay something. It is like if some kid throws a baseball through your window. He comes to tell you and he either has to pay for it or you do. Either way someone is paying to get it fixed.

So TV either takes a hit as a professor and the kid tells all his friends that he skipped a class and all he had to do was email him and say I forgot. Or the kid loses some or all points. Either way someone is paying something.

Maybe I am making this too philosophical though.

Forchion, a South Jersey native and legalization activist who now dispenses medical marijuana from his Liberty Bell Temple in California, said the recent arrest of his brother Russell, a Moorestown woman, and a Burlington Township man for two pounds of marijuana, will do little to stop the flow of buds or the public's views on it.

"There's a war on drugs and the government is losing badly, but every now and then they get one of our soldiers," Forchion, 46, said Friday from Hollywood. "There's plenty of marijuana around. It doesn't stop anything. It just wastes money."

I think, for me, it would hinge on his previous classroom attendance record. If it was $#@!, then I wouldn't let him take it.
