13258025, Set up a policy that allows flexibility, but takes out your discretion

That way you can appear to be reasonable (and you are) and at the same time put the responsibility 100% on the student.
Some examples: Accept late work with 30 points off for each day late
Dropping the lowest assignment grade
3 allowed absences for whatever reason. After that, points taken off for non excused reasons
By giving the students an opportunity to remedy the problem on their own, it relieves quite a bit of the requests for individualized care.
And it gives you something to point to when those students who want special rules inevitably ask.
Just make it very clear what the rules are. Emphasize that they are there to help the students and that you are inflexible in enforcing them due to fairness
