A D&V bug has swept through my family this week. Ds (Y10) woke on Thursday morning feeling queasy and gut-churny, but determined to sit his GCSE Chemistry exam. I informed the school, Ds sat his exam and asked to go home afterwards. When I collected him he was genuinely ill - had not vomited, but I know my boy.
I have since had a message from the school that they will ask for special consideration for Ds.
I have no objection to this, even though Ds is confident that he managed to do a good paper, but I'm puzzled: how come they did not need medical confirmation of his illness? It may not have been obvious that he was ill to someone who didn't know Ds. Is that not a recipe for chancers? Or is Ds reaping the benefit of a good reputation?

How come he didn't need a doctor's note?
