My original high school had a policy where if you missed 15 days of school (excused or unexcused) you would automatically receive straight Fs. The reasoning was you hadn't been at school enough to receive enough instruction to possibly do well.
The valedictorian my senior year missed over 25 days as he was a very serious competitive skiier. There was some very awkward backpedalling done.
