If you want to pay for a class and then not go, that's your business. If you pay for a class and your professor doesn't show up to teach, but you still have to pay the full amount, and you don't learn anything, that's probably not going to fly with a lot of students, the parents of the students, or the bosses of the professor. You might be suprised how little some schools will put up with. I had a professor get fired because he was showing up late for an 8AM class, because he got stuck in traffic a number of times. >What happens if you have a flu for 2 weeks?

I'm sure his bosses would be a bit more understanding if he was physically unable to teach as opposed to off on a vacatoin (which is probably how they see it). >I just dont get the logic here. Obviously :)
