how'd you get out of school?

[Jennifer K]

Thanks Jen...

I always just booked too... I am suprised to hear about this Gestapo type system that is in place... Do you think it is actually money driven???

You know I'm not sure exactly how it works, but I know that the schools get a certian (sp??? very tired) amount of money for the children in attendance and if they are not there (without a proper excuse) the school gets no money for that child. My daughter has been out of school for a few years so I haven't kept up with all the new school policies. This is just what I've heard on the news and read in the paper. Might not even apply to all of California, but I know it's in effect here and LA for sure.

Death and taxes... My taxes keep going up for crap like this,,,to many laws!!! make it the parents responsibility to have kids attend school,,,pffft...

I never skipped school, or class.
but i did have senior privledges during senior year so i could leave during my free periods, and leave early if i had no afternoon classes.

My daughter's in elementary school and it's money driven at that age, too. I think the school gets $70 for every day that she is there, so they sure let you know about it when you miss more than what they deem appropriate..

Wow, Bizzle, never??? Were you smoking then? How'd ya stay so good!?

thats crazy, i dont have any kids so im not to up and up one the whole school thing anymore, but from what i hear, its getting wayyyy out of hand in those places.

but yeah for all you kids still in school, all you have to do , is just act like you know what you're doing ,and what you're doing is just what you're supposed to be doing, confidence is key with skipping school.

I would go to school with a 24 and just stand outside and get drunk. You don't need an excuse, just dont go. I was eventually expelled, but it hasnt worked out badly. I'm majoring in biochem and planning to become a doctor.

Hah, man my highschool was so easy to leave! When I was in school all I had to do was walk out to the parking lot, get in my car, and leave. When I was younger and I skipped school, I would just not go.

Yeah I know that schools are definately paid for kids attendance in LA and Long Beach, which makes it way hard for me to ditch.
If i do I usually end up hopping the one hoppable fence at my school which is about 15 feet high, has a little 3 foot section without barbed wire, wobbly and nice and rusty so my hands smell like shit when im done.
Such a burn trying to climb that beast when im baked

God damn, I know it's a bit odd that I never knew this considering how prevelant it seems, but I had no idea American schools actually had guards to keep you in... I mean kids around my area would consider that some harsh nazi bullshit, there's no way we'd put up with that. Besides, there's always that occasional day you just have to skip, whether it be avoiding some group of bullies, or just feeling too shitty that day to really learn anything. Yes I know there's no way to implement such exceptions into a consistant school policy, but that's simply why you don't have freakin' guards actually out to stop somebody from *gasp* making an independant choice about how they run their own lives. lol, sorry but it's just surprising me more and more how many harsh social restrictions exist in the states (drug policy is crazy enough after all).
