<p>i skipped spanish a lot last semester (stupid 8 a.m. class), but she started a policy where after two misses, you lose 5% of your grade for every absence (and she announced it on a day I wasn't there), and it brought my grade down to a C.
... thus, I have changed the list of colleges I'm looking at.</p>
<p>About once a week. I'll have my parents call me out if the teacher isn't there too.</p>
<p>It's almost impossible to skip in my school, though people have tried. I've never done it. </p>
<p>Although I was really late to one class because I was talking to a teacher, who walked me to the class so I wouldn't get in trouble for skipping, only to realize the teacher hadn't even noticed or taken attendance yet...it was a dance class, though. My friend almost got suspended for skipping when it was clear she wasn't, and ended up with nothing except the teacher hating her.</p>
<p>it's almost impossible to do it at my school too, so I've never tried.</p>
<p>ive skipped my last class probably 25-30 times this year (calc bc). most of them were sorta excused, like i had a tennis match at 3:30 so i left at 1 lol</p>
<p>This is my morning schedule (I'm a senior):</p>
<p>7:50-9:15 Civics
9:20-10:45 English (every other day)
10:50-12:40 Calculus (w/30 min break for lunch)</p>
<p>I haven't gone to Civics for three weeks. Haven't gone to English in two. Am late for calc every once in a while.</p>
<p>I got one single detention. My civics teacher just talks and talks and talks. I don't think he realizes how long it's been since I came to school in time for his class.</p>
<p>Well, I skip class, maybe twice a month.</p>
<p>Last year about once a month...This year once every 4-5 months.</p>
<p>it never occurred to me to skip class, even on senior skip day, ONLY 2 seniors in my whole class skipped. I guess we all just love school sooooo much /sarcasm</p>
<p>hmm... if we skip classes, we have to come to school on Saturday for a detention... pretty good deterrent I'd say.</p>
<p>I skip legally. I didn't before around late march, but recently, I've scheduled tons of arbitrary things like dr's appointments, basic checkups, but my doctors <3 me so they'll just say I was under their medical care the whole day so I don't have to come back the following day.</p>
<p>If I don't feel good enough/can't make it to an appointment that day, I'd just get my mom to write me a note for the period I'm off. </p>
<p>Basically I don't ever have unexcused absences, they're all excused, but not all necessary. </p>
<p>AP testing week, we're off 3 out of 4 periods if you take it in the morning. Even if we finished at 12, I'd go home. If it was a B-day and I had 7th off, I wouldn't come back. </p>
<p>Friday, I went to 7th and had the Fitnessgram but I had a headache and since I was already counted present I went home. </p>
<p>Senioritis. You'll understand when you get to that point. It's not like we do anything in class anymore. I have 4 APs, all my exams are done. My other 2 periods are Yearbook and Yearbook Editor Period. The Yearbook is out. I have nothing left to do.</p>
<p>I've never just not gone to a class. I have hidden in the nurse's office or gone home "sick" before a paper was due, though.</p>
<p>But just walking out of the school? That's no fun.</p>
<p>Just walking out of school can be quite fun :)</p>
<p>haha skipping class in college doesn't count--it's hardly ever punishable.</p>
<p>as for "cutting" high school classes, maybe once every two weeks or so</p>
<p>legally, idk...like staying home sick to do work? eh maybe like once or twice a year.</p>
<p>I'm a goody goody, I've never ever skipped without permission.</p>
<p>me too. Never skipped w/o permission. Wait, on the 2nd to last day of school this year though, I did come into class 15 minutes late unexcused. <em>gasp</em> I know I am the biggest daredevil ever!!!</p>
<p>Otherwise I always get my absences excused. Or come up with something convincing to my parents, "oh, i have to go to my internship presentations" aka miss school to go to a free luncheon. Free food is the best</p>
<p>I skipped today...I just NEEDED a day off. But I'm planning on not missing anymore until the end of the school year (15 school days!).</p>
<p>Tsk tsk tsk. I get to school at 10:15 on A days and leave at 3:45. B days I get to school at 8:45, leave at 1:34. Not much happens if I skip a whole day, </p>
<p>but so far I have:
1.5 points for absences (each period (unexcused or parent note) gone counts as .25 points)
1 tardy.</p>
<p>College visits (up to 2 school days missed), doctor visits, etc. don't count towards absence points.</p>
<p>To get all 4 exemptions (can't exempt any final twice in a year) you have to have under 3.00 total, and under 8 tardies</p>
<p>Admittedly, I'm not in 2nd period right now. I don't feel too great, but I can't get a doctor's note right now. That's where my parent note/unexcused absences come from. I just feel crappy and decide to start school when I recover sufficiently. I never miss APs or whatever, important ones, but I just don't like being in BS classes, IE Yearbook since it's DONE. We do nothing in that class.</p>
<p>I've never skipped either, unless it counts when your mom checks you out so you can get highlights?</p>
<p>Never ever ever. If I did my mom would know before I was half way to the parking lot .</p>
