What? Colleges don't check attendence.
Mine did, like hawks!
At uni they're SUPPOSED to check but basically all that happened is a scrap peice of paper is passed about and you're meant to put your name done, an easy system to break
Thats true, its really only sent round seminars, not lectures. But you have to get your notes from somewhere and its difficult when your closest Uni mate is a goody-goody.

I did sometimes, and still do! It annoyed me because on the first day of college we had an assembly and they said we shall treat you like adults. I thought brilliant! So what happens when you miss afew days? They send a letter to mum and dad complaining about you. Im sorry, but since when do you go behind the adults back and complain to their parents? Shouldnt you sit down and have an adult conversation with us first? I hated that about college.

Uni have gotten into this habit too. My friend recieved a letter about her attendence and it was addressed to her parents, not her! WTF?! We are in our 19/20s at Uni and for some reason they still send letters to our parents regarding us. I dont see why they dont talk to us, cause to me, a lecture from my mum has no effect on me anymore. Now if my tutor or principle spoke to me, I would sit up and pay attention and listen to them. But this scenerio has allowed me to have no faith in my college or Uni at all.
