Security / cops at my school were never really super uptight so skipping was fun.
Any who our lunch is in the middle of a 2 hour class and once it started that's when we left. 600 kids going to the cafeteria created more than enough for our groups to sneak out.
My friends and I would usually get a group of people who also want to leave (6-12 people). After that we all call each other and with the right timing and communication we splinter celled our way out the school past security and cops to the parking lot into our cars and woosh! We all benefited by helping each other get out and we got back to our group of friends and took off. After that we either went and chilled at someones house, went to eat at a restaurant, go to the mall, movies, or whatever and then went back for our 4th period.
I don't know about you guys but High School was really -blam!- fun for me. The fact that mine was huge and wasn't strict made it even better.

Have I ever left school after having been in the school already? No. But I have skipped an entire school day in one of the school's bathrooms. I slept in the stall. I was tired as -blam!-, I can't even explain how tired I was. Woke up at 2:10, and school got out at 2:20.

In high school, I skipped a couple times in order to do last-minute projects, as well as to get the Reach Beta. I also skipped a last-period class in senior year quite frequently, 'cause I hated to wait around for 2 hours prior to class, and he never took attendance. Last semester of college I slept in twice.

Quite often actually. In tenth grade I waited alone at my bus stop, so sometimes I would just walk into town, head to a secluded nearby lake and spend the day reading/listening to music.
-
I only skipped classes like Woods and ceramic class. Even though I enjoined woods I wanted to go home and take a nap. I'd clock in leave and I'd have a friend clock me out. On my senior year I got an A even though I wasn't there half the time. [Edited on 01.07.2013 9:30 PM PST]

No, because I want a job.

Yeah. Hell, I'm skipping right now.
-
Kinda. Just random classes really.

A few times. Mostly if it was the last class and there was some kind of pep rally. My School didn't have security (Canada) so you could leave when you wanted and no one would stop you.
-
I was a serial skipper all through my schooling :<

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] WinyPit82 I believe I'm granted one "mental health day" per year, but no, I wouldn't choose to skip school if given the opportunity (Making up work and falling behind is annoying).[/quote] This. Although high school was pretty much a cake walk.
-
No cause if I miss 3 lab classes without good reason I'd fail. Besides skipping is irresponsible and theirs no good reason to do it unless your very sick.
-
The staff at my highskool (and junior high, I think) would call my parents if I was ever marked absent from a class. So no, I never skipped. Not really any point in skipping class anyway.
-
I prefer to not miss any classes. If I just went for lunch, maybe, but that period is only like 40 minutes and sneaking + going somewhere is too much of a hassle. Most of all, I think the making up for it part sucks the most.
-
Actually, I did skip exam days. But everyone who was exempt was actually [i]encouraged[/i] to skip.
-
I was in pretty poor health for most of school, so I'd often miss up to a week at a time from catching the flu.
-
[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Spartan 4085 Actually, I did skip exam days. But everyone who was exempt was actually [i]encouraged[/i] to skip.[/quote]How did that work? In any case, I might skip in the future if I'm REALLY behind on some important project and I don't have a whole lot in other classes that day.

ITT: a few people acting like not valuing your education makes you a badass when it actually just makes you incredibly short-sighted and foolish At least not everyone in this thread is parroting the same attitude. That's encouraging.

[/quote] Everyone who was exempt did not have to take the exams, so most of them skipped. In fact, there were only a few hundred people there (I wasn't). [Edited on 01.07.2013 10:25 PM PST]

6 years of college --> 1 missed day (went to Vegas for my birthday, understandably) In high school I probably averaged around 2 or 3 missed days a year.
-
Rarely, but i did do it.
-
Nope.

Yep, every once in a while. Why do people have security guards/cops at their schools?
