I got lost going to class...
I had been going to private school my entire life and when I got on the bus in the mornings for the first time on my second day at my new public school I got lost because I had no idea where to go. I ran through a bunch of hallways and then asked a teacher for help (I know who the AP Calculus teacher is now!). But when I found my way back to what looked familiar, I realized that I was late for History. I got to class five minutes late, but my teacher marked me absent and it showed up on my report card! I had been so confused! Is this fair?

Don't worry about it. It is meaningless.
I have a story for you: I transferred schools the second semester of my sophomore year back in the 1970's. Well, the new school had two different lunch periods (this enabled them to more efficiently use classroom space for what at the time was a growing student body). It took me a couple of days to figure out which one I was supposed to use for my class schedule since at my previous school there was only one lunch period.
So I ended up arriving like 15 minutes late in my biology class because of that confusion. I felt like a total dipshit, but it was no big deal in reality since the teacher knew I had just transferred.

Your teacher must have taken attendance before you arrived. Your teacher probably didn't see you walk in late. Next time you are late, just let them know, so they can mark it correctly on the attendance sheet.

How long did you wait to aske for directions? Did you tell that teacher who marked you absent that you were there and you just got lost or did you keep your mouth shut? You should ask someone to show you around or something so you don't get lost again. Yes it is fair because the teacher probably didn't notice you in the class or something and marked you absent.
