I skipped just about my entire senior year except first hour. Went to second hour where I was the TA and would use the office phone to phone in exit passes for myself.

You ditch school to be on an online message board? I think you're missing the point of ditching school.

I didn't ditch, I just fell asleep every day in 4 of 6 classes. That way I got credit for showing up but still avoided learning.

It was never consistent but I was barely there during 10th and 11th grade. I was a model student my senior year though.

I didn't ditch H.S. very much because I'd get in trouble from my coach (football), they were really strick on that type of thing.

in my highschool, it was so hard to ditch. If you called in for yourself, they call your house at a lter time to check if the parents actually did call.

I did until 11th Grade, then we switched to Block Scheduling which was 4 classes per day.

I couldn't skip senior year. If you had more than X 'excused' absenses, you didn't get 'Senior Exemption' which means you didn't take a final (in any class) if you had a grade of 85 or higher, or in an AP class if you took the AP test and had a grade of 80 or higher.

Some of the asshole teachers would make those who were not exempt take ridiculously difficult finals. I made sure to avoid that.

Zero.


That's the number that comes before one, just in-case you skipped your math class today.

I paid for it during my senior year. :D

i never skipped class. But.. however, my mother let me skip school a lot to go out with her or stay home as long as i didnt have anything due or a test. I was absent just about once a week. hehehe and maintained straight A's.

I almost didnt graduate because of too many missed days in HS.

Between freshman and junior year, I ditched maybe 10-12 classes total. First half of senior year, usually 1 class per day. I rotated them so I never ditched the same class twice in a week. Last half of senior year it was a serious case of senioritis. I ditched at least half, almost always the early morning and late afternoon classes. I'd get into school after 2 or 3 hours sleep and head to the senior lounge for a 2 hour nap. Refreshed, I'd tackle the classes from 10:00 to around 12:30 and then get bored and skip the last two.
