<human>: Last weekend, I had an emergency at home after Memorial Day and had to take Tuesday off from school. I emailed my TA the night of Memorial Day telling her that I wasn't going to be in class for the two days. We happened to have a pop quiz that Tuesday that was worth 10% of our grade. I emailed the professor asking if I could possibly retake the quiz or make up for the points somehow, but he said no. I emailed him again in a more desperate tone, but he didn't respond. This was the first class I've missed all quarter and we just happened to have our quiz in this class. In my opinion, I think he is being very unreasonable because: 1) I emailed my TA telling her that I couldn't attend, 2) I've been to every other class section (and he knows this because there is attendance), 3) This is a POP quiz, so it wasn't like it was posted on the syllabus like a midterm or final would be. He simply told me in class that it wasn't fair to the other students if I had to retake. How is it fair to ME!?

I'm planning on going to his office hours and trying to talk to him one more time, but at this point, I'm sure he's extremely irritated of me and will just brush me off once again.  I've worked really hard to this class and I don't think it is fair in the least to not allow me to retake a RANDOM pop quiz that is worth a significant chunk of my grade just because I had to miss one out of the 30+ days of class.  What should I do if he chooses to ignore my pleas once again?  Should I contact the dean?  Get my parents to call him to explain to him what happened?

Give me the gist of the text in a nutshell
<bot>: Missed class due to emergency at home.  Professor won't allow me to retake a pop quiz that is worth 10% of my grade.
