I only "skipped" school a couple of times and that was to see LOTR (The first two) and I technically wasn't skipping as the school was informed that I wasn't coming in. Now as for college, I skipped class all the time.
Once in my life? Probably closer to once a week. My school wasn't exactly strict. :P

Yeah in college I would skip class at least once per week. It's allowed though in college. Same. Its ironic though, I only started skipping school when I was paying for it.

Man I've skipped school many, many times. I lived by myself for 4 months when I was in grade 12, so I slept in quite a bit maybe once a week, now in College I must have skipped a class or two almost everyday.

:lol: Yeah it's funny how that works.
Reminds me of the people who came back to the Sixth Form at the start of the year - by their personal choice - and then bunked off most lessons, only to get kicked out... Ridiculous.
Never skipped high school. College is a different story now though. I skipped a lot of lessons a week at the beginnig of the school year, and learned the hard way shortly after. But yeah. I usually went to my best friend's house to play games.
[QUOTE="redstormrisen"]The last time was today. Woke up at 11, missed both Geography and Economics. Shift happens. Geography is a good lesson, you should attend. :(

I had a class in college that I only showed up to 5 times (quarterly system) and in those 5 times I never stayed for more than a half-hour. I got 100% in the class. :lol:

Geography is a good lesson, you should attend. :( I cant stand the development and globalization module, its less complicated than GCSE economics. It therefore gets missed a fair bit.

America's education system ftw?
It was a studies class so attendance really didn't have anything to do with anything. There was no learning in the course. You just do work for other classes.

America's education system ftw? Well Uni/College is all about writing exams (most programs), you can literally not ever go to class, cram for you finals and midterm and pass the course.

Skipped class twice recently. The first time was because I had a project due in a class and I didn't do it. The other time was when the teacher was absent, so I decided to go get lunch with my friends.

That wasn't a guilt trip buddy, only a joke.
Don't judge me! :P Yeah I know, just wanted to clear that up.

Meh not really but I guess you might say. This one time there was a 6:30 AM to 6:30 PM trip to South Carolina, waking up 45 minutes early was bad but South Carolina is like 3 hours each way and the trip didn't seem that intresting in the first place then if those 2 reasons weren't enough the trip was $50 + paying for your own food and the trip was like the last week of school on a friday (the end of school was Friday the next week).

At least, that's what's printed on my text book. ;)
I've only "skipped" school a few times...and I always had parental permission. I would just talk my mom into letting me stay home or something. I've only ever skipped one class before as well. I didn't get caught. I just hung out in the library with my friend. We skipped band. :lol: I'm not very wild.
i stayed home. it was senior skip day so most seniors were out. another time was because of the snow storm that happened. we got a 90min delay and the bus never came. i said screw it the bus ended up coming at like 10am i just said o well. even my parents stayed home half of the day.
I skipped so many times. My grades never suffered though as I kept up on work and studying. It's just one of those things I completely disagree with. Attendance is totally irrelevant in most aspects of life; just an arbitrary assertion of power. I would just stay home, go visit friends, go to work, or just play games.
I've only really skipped school only once and it was this year.
I went to the beach with some friends. It was all college kids at the beach since it was their spring break but it was pretty fun. I hate make up work though.
I missed 60 days my freshman year of high school :? mostly surgeries and stuff. Every year after that I'd miss 10 - 20 and I'd usually just sit home and sleep off a hangover.
I skipped a lot as a freshman in high school. In grade 9 I think I skipped like 1/3rd of the school year still passed every grade though, people were amazed and pi$$ed that I actually pulled it off :) In grade 10 that was a different story I fell behind and now I'm in a semestered program for skippers :P There's only about 20 people there who re also like me and I like that place. I haven't skipped once hope I can keep that up!
I skip school whenever I didn't do my homework, I don't want to take a test, I haven't done a project, or if I just feel like watching Wonder Pets all day.
I've pulled a sick day, but never actually skipped. My school calls home for everything, even if you're five minutes late to class. So I've never had the guts to skip skip, my mom would flip. The last time I was "sick" was last monday/tuesday.
