[1] Double sinus infection, not really anything one would consider even a major illness.

Usually schools count illness (when your parent calls in) as an excused absence, so you would have been able to make up work. The 5 day limit is a little low, though... what happens if your sick more than 5 days? Do you just automatically fail and have to redo the year?
