Do you know your school’s policy if they catch you? Skipping the Rally might not be a big deal, but leaving the property (particularly when you parent has already told you not to), might be a bigger concern. Our Seniors can arrive late if they hae a first period study hall, and leave early with one last period. They also are not required to be in their study halls as long as they’re not disruptive (and have a courtyard where only Seniors can hang out). If they are caught leaving the school grounds without permission, they lose all those privileges, and face in-school suspension. The smart kids might skip out of the rally and go to the library, but they don’t leave the grounds, because any ISS days means missing class, and falling behind. They don’t get extra time to complete the work - it is collected by the ISS supervisor, and new assignments are given. If you miss the lecture covering the material in your homework, you have to wait until after school and hope someone else took good enough notes. It’s not a risk the smart kids are willing to take.

Are you willing to face the consequences if you get caught? It sounds to me like you’re not.
