While I didn't read every word in the article, it makes me think back when I was teaching full-time. Preferential treatment? Why not? I mean, if a student was:

1. working and going to school
2. having a large drama performance coming up and classes posed a hardship
3. an academic tournamet vs. everyday classes
4. athletics vs. academics
5. a parent dies and preferential treatment is needed
6. whatever individual circumstances

I remember #2 especially.

I had a student, who wasn't a particularly good student. But when I gave him lee-way because he was the phantom in PHANTOM OF THE OPERA in his Senior year high school performance, then I let him slide during that time. He was appreciative and became a better student, because someone cut him some slack. Academics aren't always the MOST IMPORTAN THING IN LIFE. Can you believe a teacher would say that?
