Considering you're required to have over 90% attendance for each class to pass the course in my state and country I try not to :c
But out of all the teachers at school maybe 2 or 3 actually care if you skip? They still won't phone up the office/your parents but are super onto you about missing class/being late.
College doesn't let you skip unless you want to fail. There's almost always something happening in at least one of the classes I have so it's really hard to miss a day.
My senior year of high school I had about seventy eight absent attendences. I usually finished all my work early during the week and way before the due dates and so I skipped and missed every friday classes unless it was something I knew important was going to happen that day, then I might stay. Looking back, I wish I had stayed because most fridays I just left with friends and dilly daddled xD
i started skipping school in middle school...around 7th grade and it got so bad that year they got a hold of my parent and threatened to kick me out and send me to a special school. they used to leave messages on the answering machine and id delete them. it was just something i started doing...it just made sense and it was so easy. i got used to it. my parents worked all the time anyways and id have to walk myself to school and back. i'd sleep in, go out for a bit with my backpack and come home like nothing happened.
in high school i was a good student but i'd skip classes on the days i didn't feel like going anyways. i was always pretty depressed and tried to avoid anxiety (it sickens me lol) and to top it off i was chronically late. it took a lot of hard work to get out of my chronic late habits but now im always on time and have great timing with things but it didnt happen over night. in college i was a super perfectionist student and id still be late sometimes. this was something that started even in elementary school bc my mom would be late bring me to school a lot actually.
i hardly skip school. i was absent twice for the first six weeks because i went on a vacation with my uncle & aunt for his birthday. another time i skipped was when i didn't finish a powerpoint assignment for social studies class. i haven't missed school for no reason recently though.
i dunno, i get letters sometimes, but apparently i havent missed enough to get in trouble. i also get disability benefits kind of for my depression in school so they probably let it slide i imagine.
When I was in high school, yes, I did skip a lot. After 11th grade, I dropped out and got my GED and started Nursing Assistance, LOL. To me, high school was nothing but a hassle and I'm doing better than ever, honestly.
I never skipped school immensely. About once a month I would fake sick, or ditch, or something but that's about it. Back in my highschool if you had 10 unexcused absences in one semester you would automatically fail that class. My senior year there was one class where I had 8 absences. I mainly didn't go because it was early in the morning, and if you're late you have to go to detention after school. So if I was running late I would avoid going altogether.
Honestly I really hated that class. I had no friends, and it was mainly filled with freshman. There were only about 4 other seniors there including myself. And we were all probably taking that class for the same reason, we just needed an extra elective to fill up our schedules. Regardless, I could of stopped going to that class completely because I had enough elective credits in order to graduate. But never showing up to one class would probably of looked bad on my record, so I went for the most part.
I only skipped classes in the afternoon a few times but I couldn't afford to really skip a lot of school because I'm sick so often.
Teachers always got suspicious when I really was sick. I have an autoimmune disease so I catch like every flu T.T
I just felt so guilty if I skipped. Like, what if this teacher notices and feels sad that I didn't go??? IRL they never gave a rat's butt, but my own shame was a great motivator. Now I'm a grad student, so I can do damn well as I please, and I....don't skip. Because I can't afford to u_u
I literally skipped all but 3 days of my junior year.
Skipped most of 9th grade too.
Skipped class during college a lot too. Dropped out after one semester. I'll go back later????
I guess I skipped some days but I knew there won't be classes. I'm going to start skipping a lot from now though, just because they're not teaching anything anymore and I can revise a lot at home.
