He wouldn't use a pair from lost property (or what ever it is called) as he stated he had medical problems with his feet. |
I don't know the school, or exactly what happened. However, one thing I do know is that at Uni, we have procedures in place that enable us to make allowances for students with medical conditions. I'll admit that students are allowed to wear what they want anyway, so there are no rules for what they wear in exams (unless they turn up with the answers written all over their shirt), but I am pretty sure the school would have procedures in place for them to make allowances for medical conditions. |
That medical conditions lark is bull sh*t though.
If it was true:
- he would be entitled to wear them, had he checked, as it's the school's decision. If he has proof then that's fine. Blimey, you get 5% more marks if your moggy dies before an exam!
- it soon f*cked off after the problem came to light, because he said he'd wear the proper shoes in future
- it was blatantly bull to avoid wearing the other shoes, he had a CHOICE and he CHOSE to go home
- no doctor would recommend wearing plastic trainers over normal leather shoes because they make your feet sweat more exacerbating any medical condition he would have.
TBH, it's cr*p.
