Question

What is one way of making up attendance?

Community Answer

Usually an absence can't be made up, but if you only miss a few days here and there you should be alright.

Question

Can I get expelled for ditching school?

If you only miss days once in a while, you're probably safe. But there are rules about repeat offenses.

Question

Could I walk out of school?

Community Answer

It depends on your school's policies and whether or not you can find an exit you won't be seen. Most schools don't let you leave during the day once you're there.

Question

What do you do if your school has cameras and a mean security guard?

Community Answer

Try to use an exit where the guard does not stand. You can try to obscure your face so the camera can't tell that it is you. Or figure out a path that the camera can't see you.

Question

What if your mom or dad sees you at home if you need to be at school?

Community Answer

Try to convince them that you left because you didn't feel good. Or tell them school let out early and that you told them about it last week. There's a good chance that if they catch you you'll get in trouble no matter what.

Question

What should I do if my school takes register for every lesson?

Community Answer

You can try having a friend sign you in or say "Present" when your name is called. But you'll have to get a friend do that in every class. Otherwise, it sounds like they are too strict about attendance for you to be able to skip. You might try taking in an excused absence form.

Question

How do I skip school if my parent knows everything?

Community Answer

If you parent usually finds out what you do, it's probably best to just tough it out at school. Or be willing to accept whatever the consequences are when you get in trouble.

Question

I don't want to be at school, and I never want to come back. Help?

Community Answer

If there's a reason that you don't want to go to school, such as a bully, then skipping school isn't going to solve that problem. What you need to do is tell an adult about this problem at school and have them deal with it.
