All the time! If I don’t want to go to my first or last class, I have my mom call the school and say I have an appointment. I do this at least once a month, generally 2-3 times.

This year (junior year) we got a new band teacher and I HATED him. My favorite teacher had a plan period when I had band, so almost everyday I would just go to his class to “get help with math” but I actually just messed around on the computer more often than not. Sometimes I’d go to band towards the end and take a note saying I was “getting help” but if I stayed the whole class I’d go to the office afterwards and have the secretary change my unexcused absence to an excused one so I don’t get in trouble. She’s known me since I was like 4 so she’s pretty nice to me, thankfully. If I get bored in another class (AP Psychology and US History generally) I do the same thing. Not nearly as often though. Thank god my Engineering teacher and secretary like me enough to let me stay in his room and do absolutely nothing & keep me out of trouble!

I would never leave the actual building without permission though, I know I’d get in trouble. But if I really wanna leave my mom will call me out… She actually encourages me to leave school and tells me to do it more often, lol.
