No Proof. No Grace. No Mercy.

To get right to the point, the students in my CPR class at the Y this morning had to show me proof of CPR certification that had not been expired for more than thirty days IN ORDER TO TAKE THE CLASS.  Tim sent his in early this week via email, the only one of ten students to do so.  

Fortunately, I had the foresight to copy the email stating that students needed to show proof of current CPR certification prior to taking class today in to my phone. 

I showed that very email to five students who showed up this morning WITHOUT proof of certification.  Hello!?!  READ.YOUR.EMAILS.

I had two in tears.  Sorry.  No proof.  No grace.  No mercy.  American Red Cross rules.
