| I drag myself to school most of the time...my school makes getting absences cleared a real pain (probably as a deterrent to skipping). |

| Almost all of my classes have less than 20 students, so it would be really obvious if I tried to skip. I usually don't even have excused absences. |

| Its hard to skip when there are only 50 people in your grade and only 7 teachers in the school... | |

| I used to a lot when I was a freshman and sophomore, but because I go to a really small catholic school, it became nearly impossible. | |

| Never. If we're not on the absentee list*, the teacher calls the main office, who in turn calls other teachers. Then everyone knows your skipping.
* You need a parent's confirmation that you'll be out to get on this list, so it's pretty much impossible to skip. | |

| i skipped spanish a lot last semester (stupid 8 a.m. class), but she started a policy where after two misses, you lose 5% of your grade for every absence (and she announced it on a day I wasn't there), and it brought my grade down to a C.
... thus, I have changed the list of colleges I'm looking at. | |

| About once a week. I'll have my parents call me out if the teacher isn't there too. | |

| It's almost impossible to skip in my school, though people have tried. I've never done it.
Although I was really late to one class because I was talking to a teacher, who walked me to the class so I wouldn't get in trouble for skipping, only to realize the teacher hadn't even noticed or taken attendance yet...it was a dance class, though. My friend almost got suspended for skipping when it was clear she wasn't, and ended up with nothing except the teacher hating her. | |

| This is my morning schedule (I'm a senior):
7:50-9:15 Civics
9:20-10:45 English (every other day)
10:50-12:40 Calculus (w/30 min break for lunch)
I haven't gone to Civics for three weeks. Haven't gone to English in two. Am late for calc every once in a while.
I got one single detention. My civics teacher just talks and talks and talks. I don't think he realizes how long it's been since I came to school in time for his class. | |

| it never occurred to me to skip class, even on senior skip day, ONLY 2 seniors in my whole class skipped. I guess we all just love school sooooo much /sarcasm | |
