Student skips class to go to World Series, professor shockingly cool with it

Every college student wants to skip class every now and then, but rarely do they have a good excuse.
An Ohio University student named Charlie Winovich wanted to go to class on Tuesday, but he also wanted to go to the World Series. So he went to class, but the professor busted him for skipping out early and accused him of “deceit.”
Luckily for Charlie, the professor bought his excuse.
(Here’s the professor’s response if you don’t want to click through to the tweet.)
Honesty is always the best policy.
