absent/going home...

<p>do you ever not miss class because your classmates are so unwilling to tell you the correct information? just curious if this is only my school</p>

<p>What?</p>

<p>Sorry... Your question doesn't really make sense.</p>

<p>it makes sense if you read it a couple times.
the title makes it slightly more confusing though.</p>

<p>It's weirdly worded. So is the question: </p>

<p>Do you ever go to class when you don't have to because you aren't informed of the situation?</p>

<p>not at my school although I have heard at many people's it is so extremely competitive that this happens. I feel really bad for you. How can you stand going to a school like that?</p>

<p>At my school noone ever misses class because if you do it's almost impossible to make up half the work and you will get a horrible grade on the test. Our teachers test on teh lectures mostly, and we have block scheduling.</p>

<p>Umm, does everyone hate you or something?</p>

<p>That must be one of the advantages about going to a so called "nationally competitive high school". You learn about cut throat competition at an early age. Take that you "I go to a high school ranked XX in the country, will this help me go to HYP" people!!!</p>

Haha, it worked for me. Well, that's why you call three people per class so if their responses are different, then you know what's up. E-mail the teachers; ask them what you missed. I don't see why you can't do that.</p>

<p>yeah, talking to the teachers might be better than your friends... unless they want a reason for your skipping...</p>

<p>If someone actually did that, I'd like.. bich slap them!!
Everyone's pretty nice here.</p>

<p>Don't you get a calendar where it shows what days you go to school and what days you don't?</p>

<p>to clarify: Do you ever drag yourself into school because none of your classmates will tell you the homework and assignments you would have missed??</p>

<p>ie, you have to go to school on tuesday, because nobody will tell you the assignments assigned on tuesday</p>

<p>That sounds ridiculously competitive. I'm glad I don't go to a school like that, although I suppose I might have to deal with that sometime in my life.</p>

<p>Nevertheless, I always drag myself into school because I hate makeup work. I'd rather sit miserably through all my classes and take the test and get the notes than taking a week to catch up on work.</p>

<p>Of course, I always feel bad for going to school when I'm sick because I don't want to pass it on to other people. But my parents wouldn't let me stay home anyway. So.</p>

<p>In my school if you miss just a day of school esp. one with AP US in it, you are going to be overworked for the next week</p>
