On Report-Card Day, Rijii’s Roleplay Character Is Held Back Over Unexcused Absences
A teacher told the assembled students that missing absence forms, not exam scores or behavior, decided who advanced, and set a remedial exam for Monday.
AKA VIRTUAL — Rijii’s character, Antares, was told he would not advance to the next grade on report-card day in the Day 7 roleplay stream on Sunday, and the cause turned out to be attendance rather than grades or conduct. The stream ran about three hours and 05 minutes, with several other participants playing his family members and classmates.
The family arrived at the school, was sent to a scoreboard posted outside, and found that nearly everyone in the group had landed in remedial status. Only a classmate named Nova advanced. Antares disputed the result at first, saying he had been accused of skipping class and that he had not been told how scores were calculated. The teacher, addressed as Pak King in the captions, pulled up his record: Antares attended on only two of six school days, and his behavior and participation on those days were rated good.
“I don’t mind being in remedial, I’ll accept that. What I didn’t accept was being assumed to have skipped school.” — Rijii, in character as Antares, to the teacher
Addressing students and guardians together, the teacher said about 90 percent of the failures came from unexcused absences. Each day carries attendance points and participation points, he explained. A student who is absent but files an excuse form, which a parent or guardian may file with the student’s ID number, receives half the attendance score, while an unexcused absence receives zero. Students in remedial will sit a mini exam on tablets on Monday covering material from Monday through Thursday of the first week, excluding the study tour. The school offers a daytime and a night session.
After the meeting the characters spent the evening at a waterfront water park, where they rode a towed boat and a flying attraction. Later a character called Dedy outlined a plan for a residential compound that would house people without a place to live free of charge, with residents decorating and caring for the homes themselves. The stream ended a little after the three-hour mark with the characters back at the family house.
