You're not allowed to have cell phones on during exams in order to prevent you getting a text message providing answers. It's a common method of cheating. Family comes first, but "emergency" is pretty vague and you don't don't want to lose the $200-1150 that a university course costs. But then, you'd only know that if you were bright enough to get into postsecondary.

dannng that hella sucks my mom does that all the time

if my mom had an emergency she'd call the school and ask to speak to me, the rational and ethical way to handle a bad timing emergency, which is kind of redundant, but still. my mom would never expect me to check my text messages during a midterm. maybe were just different from the rest of the world, so fml instead. :]

did she remember it later on?

Exams > anything else. There is literally nothing more important than finishing a ****** final. If someone's dead, they'll still be dead when the exam is over, so just finish it. NOOB YOU ******* DESERVE THAT SO MUCH

J'habite aussi au Québec, et je me demande. Comment as-tu pu faire un final exam en novembre? Généralement, ils sont en décembre uniquement. Donc, à moins que c'est une mésaventure qui t'es arrivée pendant la session d'hiver passée, je dis que ce FML est entièrement une forgerie.

ydi, you're not allowed to have a phone on your person during an exam, even if it is silent/switched off.

I believe the emergency was that she was being assualted by her son with a desk chair.

thats good you got out your math exam.... i would be thanking my mum :P

YDI for checking your phone during an exam!
