<p>How often do or did you guys skip school during your freshman, sophomore, and junior year? And what are your usual reasons for skipping?</p>
<p>If I averaged up all my absences this year, I'd have to say that I skip about once a month. I skipped a lot the week before AP week, and I usually skip the Friday of SATs. Other times, I skip because I just don't feel like going to school.</p>
<p>I never skipped. I'm too much of a good girl. :P</p>
<p>Freshman/Sophomore year I hardly skipped any school. But this year, Junior year, I've been soo busy that I probably have missed a day every 1 1/2 to 2 weeks (now, a lot of these were because I had to take certain tests at my local CC which conflicted with HS).</p>
<p>I'm not too worried about the huge amount of absences since I kept my grades up. I'm just trying to not let it follow me to senior year, heh.</p>
<p>I suggest that you STOP skipping school because that will be held against you. Where are you planning on going to college?</p>

OMG. I couldn't agree more. Straight from a senior signature in my yearbook:</p>
<p>"I've really thought of you as a senior because you have been in almost all my classes & you have the worst case of senioritis I've ever seen! . . . . .
(near the end: )
...& yes, you really should try coming to school every once in a while!"</p>
<p>Okay, and that's only 1, numerous references to the time I took a cab to skip a quiz. Even my chem teacher:</p>
<p>"I'm going to remember you for ... and for that "cab" thing. You're a great student and I'll miss you!" </p>
<p>I swear, everytime I'm in the room, she brings it up and everyone laughs. But it's all good . . yeah school is so useless . . especially nowadays as it's coming to a close. I think I'm one of the few from my high school that can maintain rank 1 and miss as many days as I have . . very few times have I come an entire week the 2nd semester . . and I influence others to do the same <em>mishievious smile</em> =p</p>
<p>I skipped about 42 classes total. Twas sweet.</p>
<p>Haha, people around here generally don't skip whole days, just periods when they know they won't do anything anyway.</p>
<p>uhh, not that I would know or anything...</p>
<p>once in 2 weeks.</p>
<p>I have missed classes a total of 10 times since 6th grade!</p>
<p>Eighth grade I missed one day for a Confirmation retreat and one day for a regional track meet.</p>
<p>Freshman year I missed one day for a computer club competition.</p>
<p>Sophomore year I missed one day for a computer club field trip. Also, one day for Red Ribbon week and two days setting up for 'Mock' with Lifesavers.</p>
<p>Junior year I missed one day for Red Ribbon week and one day working with the Renaissance Student Steering Committee Academic Assembly. Finally, I missed part of one day taking the ASVAB test.</p>
<p>Lucky for me none of those absences have counted against my Perfect Attendance record.</p>
<p>Once in awhile when we aren't doing anything.</p>
<p>This senior girl got an award today for 13 years perfect attendance since 1993 but probably because she sucks up so much. . she checks in for like 5 minutes, they mark her as "present" and then she leaves. real accomplishment :rolleyes:</p>
<p>Loser. Who the heck doens't skip school now and then? Jesus H Christi.</p>
<p>Hahaha, when I looked at the title, I thought: Sarorah.</p>
<p>I've always maintained perfect attendance since fifth grade... until this year. I blew it on March 7th. I wasn't able to finish my work, so I skipped. I've only skipped school twice. The other day was the day before Spring Break. I only had two classes, and I just thought that it wasn't worth my time going to school. I had an in-class essay that I didn't prepare for anyway, so I guess I had my reasons.</p>
<p>I've never skipped until this year. I've had so much work or I was too tired to go. I missed a TON of days near APs. I didn't skip though...I just had exams, so that's not too bad.</p>
<p>I skip school occasionally, but mostly I skip individual classes. Usually I claim that I have a chorus sectional, and then I go to the library or the cafeteria. I try to build up a reputation of being hardworking and honest, so teachers don't doubt that I'm really just cutting class.</p>
<p>I've forged a few doctors notes, of course. Sometimes I go out for coffee with a friend, the weeks before APs I go to the town library and study. </p>
<p>I didn't skip much in 9th or 10th, but as a junior with a car, I skip a lot more. I skip my 9th period (French) so much that I've taken to writing down 'free' as my reason for signing out of school. It's not like they check.</p>
<p>I usually just skip if I know we're not doing anything, or I really need a mental health break. I don't skip if I haven't done my work-- I just get my work done on time.</p>
<p>I've never skipped.</p>
<p>I myteriously fall violently ill sometimes..usually if my friend is visiting from Seattle, I don't feel like coming to school, or I haven't done any homework. I'm good about making up work, though, so it doesn't really matter.</p>
<p>I think perfect attendance is kind of an unfortunate thing to strive for. There's definitely more to life than classes because school isn't just academic.</p>
<p>"I suggest that you STOP skipping school because that will be held against you. Where are you planning on going to college?"</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure it won't be held against me. An A's an A. I've never skipped one of my (about 20) college classes.</p>
<p>I plan to go to Princeton if they'll take me.</p>
<p>lol, they don't look at your attendance when you apply to college.</p>
<p>When I was in HS, I probably skipped an average of once a week, maybe twice. Senior year was a whole 'nother story.</p>
