"I expect you to be in all classes."
God, that pisses me off.
You have just made it painfully clear, Mr. Teacher, that you STILL, despite all that I have told you, do not understand that I am in a court battle and cannot control what days I am not in school.
You have also made it clear that you STILL think I am some horrible delinquent who enjoys SKIPPING class and makes up excuses in order to cover my butt.
This next whole year with you is not going to go well if you continue to disrespect me.
I just might lose it and give you what for, and I don't think you want a student chewing you out in front of your other students.
Now I must ponder whether I should actually tell you all of this.
Because it would just be so delicious to say this to your ugly mug:
"Capisci?"
