Thinking about not recording attendance this semester. Thoughts?

I’m debating on whether or not I should take attendance. I do have to record attendance for the first two weeks because the school requires it, but after that I’m thinking about just saying fuck it. They’re adults and I don’t want to handhold anymore. If they don’t want to come, that’s on them and they will most likely miss the work and get a fat zero.

I’m also not doing written exams anymore. All online but they have to do it in class. Grading written exams takes so much time. Putting myself first this semester ✌🏼

One thing im tired of though with attendance is when I give them a zero and then they are like “ugh but I was sick” with a doctors note. Like why didn’t you tell me before class? Annoying.

EDIT: I think I will take attendance but not use it as a grade like some of you have stated. I like the idea of having that record to back myself up in case of a problem student.
