Have you ever truanted/cut class?
 
Hi guys,

I was just talking to my brother and we were just chatting about one time we didn't go to school. It was really funny. I was walking to school and just didn't want to go so I called my brother up and asked im if he wanted to go to Oxford Street or something. So there I was, still in my uniform with my brother sitting on the bus to Piccadilly (we decided not to go to Oxford St.) and we got sandwiches from M&S and sat in Hyde Park eating them. Little did we know that my history teacher on maternity leave was sitting behind us. It was terrible, she rang the school to tell them and I was in deep trouble. I got detention for like an hour, I guess it wasn't so bad. Another time I was on my own, I took a change of clothes and spent the day in HMV on Oxford ST, (there was a mega sale). Didn't get caught that time though. I've only ever done it a few times though. What are your stories?

My attendance this year is worse than ever before. Me and my friends sometimes don't bother going to school, we just chill in our wittle cabin in the woods and get pissed. But it's not always like that, I would pretend I'm walking to the bus stop, but I'd just go to the woods for a while, then go home. My dad goes to work at 5am, and finishes 5pm. I am one big dobber. But there's this new thing where people in the Board of Governers look for dobbing children in the streets. Watch your back. I was caught a few times.

Yes, I've truanted. Yesterday. History first period is so easy just to ignore.

I never. And sometimes we call it "Bunging" funlliy enought. But I don't derserve to cut class.

sligster 03-18-2005 02:47 PM

yes. I used to do it every thursday, cuz my P.E. teach was a ****in Nazi and got pissed off really easily.

I hid in the bathroom :p

No. I don't like failing things.

When I was in 6th form last year, I had about 12 lessons a week, I used to skip between 5-8 of those lessons, mainly because I hated 6th form, and I wasn't doing too well in the subjects I'd chosen. Sooo. I ended up dropping out after I took my examinations last June.

I never felt guilty about being truant, the school didn't do much about it, but I did get told off a bit by teachers.

I never had a good reason. Sometimes I sleep in class though. Bad habit.

Abe16 03-19-2005 07:56 PM

I never skipped class. But I do talk a lot in class, the teacher sometimes catches me.

I wonder why...

No, never.
Oh actually, once when our school was striking, instead of actually striking me and my friends when up town and got fish and chips.

I was struggling before I started truanting, cause I didn't skip classes until about 5 months down the line. I had all sorts of other stuff going on at the same time. Saying that, I managed to pass all my AS Examinations at the end of that year

It snowed and I decided that I couldn't get to school. So I went and played in the snow with my friend. We were the only people about as it was very cold.

In London, we call truanting 'bunking'. It's quite funny because in Birmingham they say 'Wanking off school' I'm not joking. :)

Over here we call it 'wagging'. Sure you didn't hear it wrong?

Majic 03-22-2005 11:55 AM

Do I skip school?

Quite often, actually.

Some mornings I just wake up, piss, and think to myself how much education is overrated, and simply come back home after I know my parents have both left. Such a rebel, I am. Staying home is so much funner.

And by that, I've never outright skipped. A couple weeks back I had an overexaggerated bug.

That's about it.

All the time. Nobody will stop me from skipping class.

I don't care how tough you are. .!.. :D ..!.

*Looks left and Right* er....yes...
I was seriously scared of my gym teacher, he was always yelling at me. One day, I could not face him again, and I hid in the locker room until it was time for class to end. I was crying so hard....

in wales we call it hooking class

SeaRex 03-30-2005 02:23 PM

I skipped an entire day once... with a few friends... that's about it.

We went to some fru-fru coffee/sandwich place and then went and saw The Grudge. I think we might have actually gone shopping at a thrift store too, but the day was such a dreadful failure that I can't really remember.

We were supposed to go paint-balling. Don't know how the f*ck that turned into overpriced food and a crappy movie... but there you go...
