I got this once when we were assigned a project due three weeks hence, and then I was out sick with pneumonia for two weeks. I wanted an extension so I could give the project the proper attention. No joy. Because then she’d “have to do it for everyone”. No, just everyone who unavoidably missed two weeks, which I think was just me.
teachers mean asynchronous, when one function becomes async, all of them do
Speaking as a teacher, when I say this to students, it means the circumstances prompting them to ask for an exception are not nearly as exceptional as they imagine.
The teacher has `-fno-exceptions` set for maximum performance.
What’s the exception for? I can think of many exceptions where this response would make sense.
Make a `Result` for them instead
That’s because it’s most never an exception, but rather a precedent.
Wait until you enter the workplace. You will hear that over and over again.
I’ve seen coworkers make small exceptions they believe are valid, probably rightfully so, just to have every other student and parent hear about it and demand “equality”. Always ends with them getting hauled in front of admin and having to explain everything, in detail. The only exception I take is one with documentation and approved by admin.
Yes, they do. The teacher is saying that they can’t make ‘exceptions’ because it would be on them to defend that particular exception in each and every case where somebody else also wants one.
If I make a `catch` for one exception, I’ll have to make one for all of them.
Do you fucking realize _an_ exception does not necessarily mean the same one?
You got main character syndrome.
} catch (SadStay5471BadBoyException e) {
When making a project, always have some additional work that can be done. You want an extension? Sure but now you have to do some more work with the added time and your grade is now being split across all original and additional sections.
What the teacher should have said was: “I don’t want to set a precedent.”
Teachers also need to treat everyone the same to not show bias. Which is a lie because the students with rich families are already getting treated better.
But that’s exactly the point, that they would have to (eventually) make an exception for everyone, in which case it would not be a true exception anymore. This is really illiterate stuff.
I think that’s the point. You make an exception for one person then everyone lese complains and you have to do it for everyone and its no longer an exception its the norm.
In most likelihood, she really didn’t deserve that exception.
Most likely she’s a spoiled, lazy brat.
Of course, exceptions happen and maybe she isn’t one of those people.
It is called exception driven development.
Tell that to a GO developer..
I thought the joke was that if it was an exception for everybody it wouldn’t be a special rule applied to one person, but a policy that applies to the whole class.
Ah yes, the ol’ cooperative multitasking vs preemptive multitasking problem 😅
Bitch, this is why we have IEPs.
“You could just make an exception for me, and then we’ll never speak of this again.”

Sorry prof I’m flagging you for E722.
Teacher: This diorama is exceptional.
Teacher: *Throws the diorama.*
………. Without a valid inappropriate excuse
This is such a bad argument. No, you don’t have to do it for everyone. It’s fine.
Hahahahahha, i just realized that🤣
Tell me you’re a child without saying it.
Props to my grade jr high math teacher that would ask a student “why do you deserve an exception?” And kids would try to come up with nonsense after nonsense and he’d get the entire class to vote and thru the 3 years, not a single one got one because no one ever made a single compelling argument outside of. “I asked first.”
Now that I’m a parent of kids in school I have found that teachers (god love em) don’t know a lot of things.
This sort of teacher wraps their main function call in a try/catch with the only exception message being a fucking shrug emoji :-/
If their conditions match what we’re talking about .. then yes you should make the same acception for them too. Wtf. I’m not asking for special treatment I’m asking you to adapt your rules to contexts in general
“Let me guess, it’s everybody else’s fault again”
“Yea….. that’s what I’ve been telling you all the time”
No, they don’t
They speak poorly
Bad leadership skills
Not programming related, but whenever you make an exception at your job for someone, always make it clear that it is *you* who is making the exception and that you’re only doing it once.
It’s amazing how a nice gesture can come back to bite you, make an exception once and maybe that person starts telling everyone about this cool new loophole they discovered.
To which you simply say if you give an exception to everyone in my specific circumstances that would be the right thing to do
I suppose it would depend on the circumstances for the exception, but the word equity comes to mind.
