<p>hahahahahhahahahha. oh man… I’ve missed school SO many times for debate tournaments. and when there’s a sub, I never ever ever go. at least our school is less stringent than some of your guys’… 0.o</p>
<p>7 at my school. You can make it up though if you attend “zero” hour though.</p>
<p>You can’t miss a class more than 4 times a semester at my school, or you get make-up hours. Which got me in a bit of a situation last year for missing cause of SURGERY…sheesh.</p>
<p>yeah… skipped AP econ/psych to go out to an all you can eat chinese buffet about 30 minutes away with some friends. Great decision.</p>
<p>However, i don’t do it often and don’t advocate doing it more than a few times.</p>
<p>nope but on Senior Skip day which is friday i will not be at school.</p>
<p>Im a junior, and have NEVER skipped school. when i get sick, my parents force me to go. then it’s a huge hassle because then i call them to pick me up 2-3 hours into school while im dying. but ive never missed school because of illegitimate reasons.</p>
<p>I’ve missed my college classes before because of oversleeping, etc. As for skipping because of a project or test? In college, an assignment or test is due day x, and you’re not going to turn it in on day x+1. Projects are due that day whether you’re sick or not–have someone else drop it by. Tests, you better have either been in the hospital, or have a detailed doctor’s note stating you weren’t able to take the test because you were sick, not just that you were really sick.</p>
<p>I was late to my high school class earlier this semester because I was finishing an assignment. Seeing as my grade’s like 30 points higher than the class average, the teacher doesn’t really care.</p>
<p>Obviously, I’ve missed school for certain legitimate reasons. . . when the government appoints you as something, you better to all the official something-ing it expects.</p>
<p>7 days a year? I’d kill myself. I used to take a day off every other week.</p>
<p>I used to skip school a LOT in my middle school and early HS years. I didn’t like school too much (esp in middle school) and it was so far away it was a HUGE effort for me to go there. My day was from like 7am to 6pm including travel time so I wouldn’t go if I didn’t have the energy for it, anyway I could easily catch up. I also used to skip school to study for my exams.</p>
<p>Now in junior year tho, it a whole different story. I actually like school and I find it much less physically taxing because it’s so close to home so I’ve only skipped ONCE in two terms and that was, ironically to study for my SATs.</p>
<p>" Tests, you better have either been in the hospital, or have a detailed doctor’s note stating you weren’t able to take the test because you were sick, not just that you were really sick."</p>
<p>Mich engineering is really cool about this actually. If you contact the professor ahead of time about your sickness, they should give you a new time to take the test after you recover. </p>
<p>Though we still take a bunch of classes in the liberal arts school, and they don’t do that. Only for engineering classes.</p>
<p>I skipped school a lot in middle school too (that 40 day thing, I’d be gone 39 days) until mid-endish 7th grade… I just grew up.</p>
<p>Lol I took till late 9th grade to grow up. But I realized it’s really hard to skip school enough to be in danger of failing - we only had 85% attendance necessary.</p>
<p>Nope, I’ve never skipped school. C:</p>
<p>I mean, I did on the day where they told us not to go to school because of some event (administrators even recommended not to go).</p>
<p>if you’re the guy who’s taking Calculus as a freshman, then definitely go for it.</p>
<p>I am the OP.</p>
<p>OMG. I’m pretty sure I failed that test… Yeah I should’ve skipped. Either that or stopped wasting time on CC to study on Sunday. :P</p>
<p>My school allows 3 unexcused absences a semester, and I have used all of my unexcused absences. :D</p>
<p>I love Michigan. They can’t fail you for missing too much school :D.</p>
<p>You’re a freshmen in BC?</p>
<p>why would i want to skip school its awesome</p>
<p>I’ve skipped school only if…
- I was really really sick
- I needed to study for a test
- Family Emergency</p>
<p>Yeah, I hate all my teachers and classes except for English and computer class…
i skip, but not enough to get in trouble.</p>
