forgetting Options

[demolished]

Okay. Today, I came up to my teacher to give her my late assignment.

She asked me why I gave her right now.

I told her that I didn’t do it over the weekend because I totally forgot about it. Unusually, she didn’t write down the assignments on the board that the class needed to complete. Since I had a hearing disability, I’m not really good at catching information by verbal in air.

Then she says, "That was your choice not to do it".

I was confused; I didn’t really choose not to do it.
i know it's my mistake for not remembering it.

I always turned in every assignment.
For some reason, I didn’t turn in the assignment this time.

the question is: is forgetting a choice or not ?

Ur fault for forgetting.

I think that's good enough backup.

And it sounds like you're just making excuses. Stuff happens. Sometimes you slip up, and you just have to say, "Oh well, better remember next time."

Forgetting or remembering is not a choice. It's something that comes automatically. At any given moment, you can't choose to remember your 2nd grade classroom on the 4th of September and what color crayon you were using, who you were sitting next to and when your next spelling test was going to be. Or you can't choose to forget it. It just happens.

So, technically, if you forget something, it isn't your fault, but there are things you do to prevent it. At our school they give us daily planners to write down dates for tests, quizzes or due dates and also homework for each subject.
