Senior Skip Day - in the Fall?

Thanks all for your perspectives.

So skip day happened and apparently a good portion of seniors chose to not go to school. S doesn’t feel too badly about going, however a few teachers did ask if everything was alright (not expecting him?) and the school newspaper came to interview him (and two other seniors) during last period (I’m not a fan of being singled out for doing the right thing -yet casting it in a nerdy light).

I understand the need for days off, for sickness, college visits, etc. but I just don’t get why seniors (aided by understanding faculty) as a group feel entitled to a free day so early in the school year. Wait until senioritis sets in, and acceptances are in hand, and the bulk of work is complete before checking out.
