Senior Skip Day. How?

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>My class is trying to plan a senior skip day but it is not working. There is only nine of us so it shouldn't be that difficult but it is not working. Would you tell your teachers before you go and get make ups if you know your teacher hates students skipping? Or would that make the skip day pointless? (We were suppose to go yesterday but a girl decided to tell the teacher what the plan was and now it's on stand-by. Interesting class)</p>

<p>Advice, comments? Thanks.</p>

<p>Isn’t the idea generally that no one but the seniors know before it happens?</p>

<p>It’s more interesting in schools when hundreds of students are suddenly gone.</p>

<p>Personally, unless I NEED a day off because I’m getting backlogged by a ton of work, I wouldn’t ditch. Every time I skip a day due to being sick I end up regretting skipping, even if I was in no condition to go.</p>

<p>Wait, what???</p>

<p>…</p>

<p>The idea is like 300 of you skip so no one can get in trouble. They can’t punish 300 people with something drastic. But nine? Yeah, they could **** with all of you.</p>

<p>There’s only nine kids in your senior class…? Or only nine kids are planning on skipping? I agree with quomodo if it’s the latter.</p>

<p>I definitely wouldn’t talk to your teacher beforehand! How is that conversation going to go, “Excuse me but we’re all planning on not showing up to class tomorrow so can you give us the work now?”. </p>

<p>At my school there’s about 500 seniors so it’s supposed to be a big surprise when one day none of them show up.</p>

<p>At my school, we’re allowed to have a senior skip day if we ask permission and go do something productive like community service. Otherwise, you have to get your parent to OK it or they punish the entire grade…</p>

<p>If you skip school and your parent calls and says that you had permission to skip, they don’t do anything. We don’t have an attendance policy, so I know people who have literally missed more than a month of school. lol. It annoys the teachers.</p>

<p>But really… Are you allowed to have one? Will you get in trouble for skipping? Think about it. Typically you don’t tell anyone.</p>
