I don't believe I've ever skipped class.
However, I do have a free 7th period so I often accompany people who are ditching their 7th to go out to lunch or something.
If I actually started writing my essays for English, I'd have a 4.0 GPA. :|

I think I had like a 1.7 GPA when I failed high school. Had to fix that in summer school, of course.
So that explains that.
I skipped class tons when I was in high school. And a lot of my classes my first two years of college were those huge lecture hall classes with 200 people, so I was very easily tempted to skip out on those classes.
But most of my classes now are classes of 20-40 people and attendence is a good chunk of the grade.
Plus, the tuition went up this year, and each class is about $4,000. So skipping out on even one class would be like throwing away roughly $130. And that's not really cool.
So yeah, I want to skip classes all the time. Hell, I wanted to skip class TODAY. But I fight that urge a lot harder these days than I used to.
I skipped a hell of a lot last year, but this year I haven't done that as much, although I still skipped a fair bit. I only went to one lecture and no classes for one of my modules, and I still passed it. Some of the lecturers practically copy it word-for-word from the textbook, and I really can't be bothered to wake up at 7 AM to catch a train in arctic conditions for that. But if the lecturer is good, I'll do my best to attend.
I just remembered this is the class that you only get two absences in before the teacher fails you. And I wasted one. Damn me.
Beat BJ up and send him to the hospital and voila excused absence.
I never skipped in high school, but I skip now. A lot. Too much. Megan, go to class!
In high school I often tried to get my parents to let me stay home. Sometimes worked. At school I'd often try to get the teachers to let me go to the library instead of stay in class. Sometimes worked. But high school was a waste of time in general.
I skipped many classes in college. There were classes I where skipped every single one except the test and the classes required to figure out when the test was. There was no class I didn't skip at least once. Even classes with so-called mandatory attendance. Closest I came to not skipping a class was my Bible history classes. Even then I skipped one or two.
I don't recommend doing this. I ended up not getting grades as high as I could've gotten in college, for no good reason.
At first I thought you were saying "Get BJ to beat the teacher up and voila excused absence."Quote:

It's strange how most of the "authority figures" of EoFF skip school a lot. :confused:
We're excellent role models.
In high school I used to skip a lot. Probably the most my sophomore year, but the second semester my senior year I didn't even need any credits. Skip away!
My first semester of college I would usually make my first class, which was History, but I often went home instead of going to art. The teacher made it miserable. Sometimes I wouldn't make it up in the morning for History, so I wouldn't even consider going in for art.
This last semester we always had a break halfway through Philosophy, and many times I decided not to go back.
i skip every once in a while, but not enough to want to fail the course.
Yeah, I had a lecturer like that last semester, and ended up skipping a lot of his classes. He read pretty much directly up from a powerpoint presentation which he also put up on the internet, so 'yknow. :p Still got a B in that subject.Quote:

I'm gonna try not to cut a single class this semester, and I must really mean that 'cause it's 6 AM and I don't lie at 6 AM. :mog:
I WILL NEVER SKIP CLASS IF MY LECTURER IS LEVIAN OR PAUL! :bigsmile:Quote:

I played hookie in elementary school once with a kid who thought he was tough because he got kicked in the nuts and still swung, winning the fight. We snuck away from the teacher during recess nd hid in the playground. It was a thrill to dodge the hall monitors and sneak around behind the principal, who we saw ambling obliviously down the walkway, his big bald head...
But, finally, some chick caught us in the trees and snitched us out. Her name was Melanie.
