You should at least try to coordinate with the others so that everybody would do the same thing. That would make it harder for the principal to do anything. Although it would be quite a nazi school to kick out for something like that. Especially since she gave conflicting information. Some lighter sanction seems more likely, if anything happens at all.
Its......just an amusement park...

I agree with Assertn, it's not that big a deal that you can't go. If it's that important to spend time with your classmates as a senior fun-day then try to organize it yourself. Don't let the school get in your way of having fun, but this kind of thing isn't worth it to rebel if you gotta face too many complications. If you do decide to skip class, I agree with Kraco. Make sure everyone is in on it. You will make a greater impression that way, and the repercussions might be less severe.
Stand up for yourself, but do it intelligently.

Stand up for yourself and STICK IT TO THE MAN! It's the principle of the thing. Go!

yea!!! school isn't meant to be fun!!! skip it with like your whole grade, she cant do anything!!!!
ty psj for this sig
And in the unlikely event that she does, she can't kick you out for it. If she tries to do something, explain the situation to your parents and see if they'll help you. (in a school district, complaining parents are a principal's worst nightmare)Originally Posted by 6Zabuza9

The first thought i had when i read all this.Originally Posted by AssertnFailure
Amusement parks suck, just stay home and watch tv or something.
^^ The point is not just to skip school... The point was to do a last activity with all the grade 11. This is our final year. For many of us, we have been together since kindergarden and this ismore than 10 years. We might got to an amusement park. But there is some chances that it rains. We decided to go do paintball. But, I still have to convince my parents. All this trouble because of that bitch.
Update.
Just great. I tried to convince my parents, but I couldn’t since they talked with the principal of the school. She said that no matter how many students are in the class, there will still be classes.
I tried to convince them but failed. Plus, my dad is a teacher and he is ALWAYS on the school side.Originally Posted by Chaoskiddo
Now, I am at school. We are 5 in class (We are originally 33). This morning we were 10, but 5 people left since they only wanted to come in the morning just to say hey we showed up but I have a rendez-vous now, so I have to leave. But they are really going do paintball.
The problem is that the teachers are still continuing the classes. When the people are going to come back, I will be harassed by my friends and classmates to explain them what they missed, and I am not able to say no.
Plus, the physic/chemistry teacher said that if we staid until 2:30. We would have 5 marks more directly in the report card in physic and chemistry. So I have to stay at school continue the classes while others are at paintball.
I seriously don’t know if I am supposed to be happy to be at school and get 5 extra % or be sad that I am not going to do paintball. I guess I wont be doing any activity with my grade after all. Fuck that bitch.
Well, that's pretty much given, if the recreational event (day) isn't sanctioned by the school. The teachers would be skipping work if they weren't there to continue the classes. And that would be worse than student skipping classes.Originally Posted by gr3atfull
It must suck, but still in the end if it wasn't an official day off, it wouldn't have been technically anything but skipping. And if that had caused you problems not only with the school but also with your parents, it's a good question if it had been worth it in the long run. Studying is a student's work, and in a sense skipping it shouldn't be any different than an employee skipping work, which is certainly frowned upon.I seriously don’t know if I am supposed to be happy to be at school and get 5 extra % or be sad that I am not going to do paintball.

Yeah. Life just sucks sometimes, and not everything ever goes as planned.
I'm sorry but what kind of pussy are you? If they harass you stand up for yourself and tell them that you won't give them all the notes for everything they missed. You could always tell them to pay for it *devilish grin*Originally Posted by gr3atfull
It is okay. I know its sounds like I am one. But you see, my friends and classmates are really nice. I mean, when they see me and my brother waiting for the bus, they would give me a ride even though its not on their way. When they go out for lunch, they would bring me a little treat. When I am absent (which is really really rare), they would take my notes for me.Originally Posted by PSJ
But now, I mean they missed school purposely (sp?). And I even text message them to tell them that the school is still on, and they are missing classes. They said, its okay youll help me out.....
@ Kraco: you got a point.
Damn Kraco why you gotta shit in the boy's Cheerios?

Well then i misunderstood you, you really shouldn't have used the word "harass" sounded like they made you do it against your will or something.Originally Posted by gr3atfull
Oh, that's not true, if you consider the timeline. It was already too late, so I tried to give a couple of points to explain it couldn't be helped. Of course that's a weak condolence. But I think even a weak condolence is better than saying: "You suck because you didn't do it." That never helps.Originally Posted by The Heretic Azazel
@ PSJ:
Sorry. I guess I was really pissed yesterday. Yesterday night, I saw them. They offered to pay me so that I lunch time I could explain them what they missed. I still didnt accept since I feel its wrong. I guess its just me, since I am sure anyone would accept it.
umm... Is it just me or does every one thinks I am a guy?
Ho... I surely did think so. You are not?Originally Posted by gr3atfull
Well, I suppose the combination of your avatar image and the rough language of the original post made me think so. And add to that the talk about skipping school. Of course girls can skip school just as well as boys, but I think statistically guys might be doing it more.
I dont talk like that usually, except when I am realy pissed and mad. And I was in my previous posts. I guess that is what happens when you have guy friends since you are young. And the part with guys skipping more than girls, that isnt really true at my school. Girls are becoming rebels at my school.
I know you are a girl. You like Yzak almost as much as terra if i remember correctly. But yea you sound somewhat like a guy in your posts.
And i would have accepted the money for giving them info, if they offer it you should just take it, it's not like you asked them to pay you. But that's just me i guess i'm a bit greedy.
