Good morning Mr. Hibiscus,
I was just informed that there will be a major grade test tomorrow, and I was just wondering - and this request may sound odd - if you could postpone the exam until next week. I know that's it's an odd question that you'd probably reject, but the field trip last week has made me missed a lot of the concepts that you taught in class that day. Obviously it's my job to catch up on the lesson, but some of the concepts are a little tricky for me to grasp, and I just feel like I need more time to master before getting a major grade on it. This might sound like a very selfish thing, but I believe that postponing the test will not only give everyone more time to prepare, but it'll also give the other students a chance to catch up on what they've missed too, like me, as well as being able to fully understand how to derive those integrations and derivatives. I do hope that you would at least give my request a consideration rather than skimming through it quickly, and I do hope you understand.
Thanks,
Kris Jenner
