It ends up the penalty for ditching is a single percentage drop in each class missed (for the first offense, it gets harsher as you get more), and any schoolwork due that day could not be turned in by the student (which thankfully was only my math class). It doesn't stop there though, I had an in class essay in English which I missed yesterday, and I will be making it up tomorrow, but with an automatic two grade deduction from it.

I think that those penalties are absurd, especially the homework one. I figure a person that ditches often stereotypically doesn't do their homework, and therefore should be forced to do the homework due that day, not the other way around.

If it weren't for the fact that I just don't care about highschool anymore I would be one unhappy camper. I could really use some warm weather right about now...
Damn dude, that sucks.

At my high school, if you get caught skipping school you get a three day vacation....er....suspension.


I fail to see the point in that. You suspend a student for skipping class and punish him/her by allowing them to stay home. Great fucking thinking. I think administration needs to go back to school.
