I just wonder if there are any people on here who have never tried to fake such a thing to skip a day or a few to stay at home... :D
Are you one who never tried to skip school when you were a little kid by pretending you are sick? :D

In some ways, I loved school. But, I was, in some subjects 4 to 6 years ahead of many in my class. Our school didn't double promote, so I was bored shitless by most stuff by 3rd or 4th grade or so.
Our district was and still is one of the worst funded in the Chicago area, and there was no gifted program, so they would put 3 or 4 of us out in the hall with The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn or something like that, and leave us alone to teach ourselves or send us down the the primary grades to "help" the teacher with the little kids. What do you do when you have read Huckleberry Finn 8 times? You try to stay home, so you can read what you like!
Yes, I tried to stay home as much as I could.
I didn't actually enjoy school (for the learning part) until I was in college and being taught things I didn't already know. I rarely missed a day of class at University, as I was interested and wanted to be there.

I never really skipped in elementary/middle/high school. I was very much a good student when it came to attendance. When I did get sick (usually only once or twice in a year) I would sometimes take an extra day just to fully recover, but my parents were fine with that.
In college I did skip a handful of classes sometimes, but did very well grade-wise. But I don't generally fake sick to get out of things.

I skipped so much school I almost didn't pass. I hated school so much. They should have kicked me out a few times, but they always tried to work with me. They would have been better off kicking me out. they had nothing but issues with me the whole time. The principle remembers me completely still to this day and it has been 6 years since he last saw me. He ask my cousins about me.

I tried to get out of school as much as possible. Especially in Elementary. B| I hated elementary xD horribly.
I'd skip out on my medicines so I got sick and could run a fever etc. and not ahve to go to school... but this resulted in a 104+ temperature and lots of shots B| and i hate needles sooo not very good in the end.

I remember when I saw ET and Eliot uses the light bulb on the thermometer to make it look like he had a fever. I thought, "Shit! Why haven't I thought of that?"
Of course, it didn't help that I was really sick a LOT when I was a kid. I got used to staying home and doing what I wanted. Shoulda been home schooled, but my mother never would have been able to handle it. I probably needed the social stimulation, anyway. I was actually a quiet kid.
I was terrible. I hated going to school for the most part after 3rd grade until college. Then I was happy to go. I was actually learning new things in college.

Well I'd have to say I'm kinda half and half, cuz I never ever missed a day of school k-6 was the elementary but when it came to high school 7-12 I was always trying anything to get out off school, Fake puke in the toilet, running the thermometer under hot water, coughing really hard, putting something really hot on my forehead,and acting like I had the shits lol anything to stay.

I had a lot of health problems as a kid, so I skipped a lot but was also legitimately sick.

Well, for example my grandpa was an as impeccable student as one could be! So I guess if he never had the intention to try such a thing there must be others out there too...
