did you ever walk out on school?

[emeraldrafael]

many times, but then again, you could sign yourself out of school if your grades were high enough and had permission.

but illegally (you're truant if you do it in the US), I did once. I didnt care for the way a teacher had insulted me, so I told him to bend over so I could shove that yard stick he hit us with up his ass and try and dig out the stick thats already in it and he tried to give me a whack from the yard stick, but i was a bit too quick for him. so now, firmly embarrassed that I'm making him look like an ass (well, more of one), he said I could either get in line witht he rest class or I could get the hell out.

so I quoted cartman and said screw you guys, I'm going home, and left. Wound up with two days detention.

WHen I was a freshman, our school implemented a tucked in shirts, belt, pants only policy. Sophmore year half the school walked out and sat on the football field in protest. We won the use of shorts back.

I was in this school at one point.

I think I had more than enough reason to walk off multiple times. Though had to go back at the end of the day to get the bus else I would have been stuck about fifty miles from home.

And the worst part of it? My nan (grandmother) was the person blamed for the curtly/neglect/abuse and without any actual evidence (because there was not any) I was taken into care. Walked out of there a few times as well but 300 miles is a bit far to get home.

Sidenote: If you actually read the whole story and think the guy should have got more than a suspended sentence, he died the next day.

i went to my first semester of uni, when i got a bad case of "hernia in the back" and i was unable to walk straight for like a year, obviously i didnt finished that semester

then i came back to a different school, entered a new carrer and after the first semester was finishing i told to my self, "damn... i lost the pace of school" one year bedridden with only videogames made me realize i didn't wanted to keep studying, so i got out and began working

i was 21 at the time, now i am 25 and the manager of a small company, i always had a good head for business, so yah, it wasn't that bad.

Couldn't cause I lived an hour away from my school and couldn't drive.

But, as a result I went on to college and have a degree, and I feel (somewhat at least) more educated than others I know who gave up on school

 

[FamoFunk]

Yup, plenty of times - I will not stand to be spoken like shit to for no reason, *just* because they were "The Teacher" Fuck that.

 

[Low Key]

Nope. I didn't have to. The classes I didn't give a shit about I just slept through. The teachers didn't seem to mind. During the time I had open, I was fortunately friends with the security staff, so they just let me leave...probably because whenever I needed to be in class, I was.

Now that I'm in college and have to sit through 4 hour classes, I wish I could do the same as I did in high school, but sadly I can't.

So they give you a detention for that but the teacher is allowed to hit pupils with sticks?
Neat.

 

[Berithil]

Depends on how literally you take phrase. I've walked away from my school work and walked up to the nearby 7 eleven to get something to drink several times but I was homeschooled sooo.... yeah I don't think it really counts.

Yeah, I'm supposed to respect my elders.

Besides, I went to a rough school. Well, not rough, but we were really old fashioned. We were (and to my knowledge) still are allowed to bring guns if you have a legal permit for them and are aapproved for hunting. thats why a lot of kids with good grades would leave early, or come in late.

When I lived in a rural area I used to collect my work at the beginning of the day and walk the train tracks home, did the work whilst walking, took me six hours

turned up at the exams and aced them, teachers were SUPER pissed off. I had something like 35% attendance and was in the top 90%. Good times, I can't do that now because I live 5 minutes walk from my house AND all the work is done on school computers.

 

[A Raging Emo]

Yes. All the time.

I shan't delve into detail as of yet, because it's late and I need to sleep, but I might update this post later.

 

[WolfThomas]

Not at highschool, there would have been nothing to do (I lived out of town had to take buses) and the teacher went crazy over it. In university, sure all the time in first and second year I skipped lectures, which I kind of ended up regretting having to sit some exams again. But it's all good now.

 

[Tiger Sora]

Skipped classes to go to the mall afew times. Slipped out during pep rallies and other crap like that, just hung out with friends a-ways from school. Walked out of a class once when the teacher pissed me off. My last year, one of the last days. We did make up though, I was friends with the guy. So if skipping counts yeh plenty.
Would never just quit though.

 

[Tonythion]

No but I might as well have.
It was during the immigration laws were being passed.

The whole school walked out, it was only like five people who didn't leave my class. It happened really fast. I didn't agree with the law but I didn't see how me going to jail just so they can accuse my parents of being illegal (they aren't).

I staid in class with four other people including the teacher. We all looked at each other, shrugged and since we were on lock down we just watched a lot of R rated movies (I was in middle school) threw shit at each other and did no work at all.

All of my friends where arrested...I ate cupcakes that other teachers gave us from the teacher's lounge....

I don't walk out of school unless something is very effed up and it will actually make a difference other than not shutting down the school from lack of funds.

 

[Gaiseric]

Yes, a few times. And I regret doing it.

 

[loc978]

I never walked out, but I did drive out many times. Usually, it was a pep rally I didn't give a shit about. Slip out the door and I'm gone.

^pretty much this for me as well^
Any time there was a mandatory "school spirit" event, I'd be sure to miss it.
...and then I'd be back for work a few hours later... my first job was with the school district...

I'd imagine so. I remmber in elementary school the principal had a large rough (it wasnt shaved down or anything, so it was easy to get splinters) wooden paddle (about a foot wide by a foot and a half long and a good 5 inches thick) with metal around the edges and holes drilled in the center so air resistence was cut down when it was swung.

Every year on the first day of school you were showed it,a nd then you were given a small folder to take home that had a picture of what it looked like, a list of the rules and the "acceptable" punishments for them the school was allowed to take, and a small pink card that scared the living shit out of any kid whose parents signed it, cause that was the permission for the principal to give you the paddle, and a cyan blue slip that said any punishment could be rectified by the paddle.

And I only just graduated last year, so its probably still in effect, though I know the cyan blue slip was removed, and the paddle was resized (now its only about 6 inches long by 4 inches wide by 3 inches thick), shaved down so its smooth, and the metal was taken off. Something about kids crying that it was getting too rough and they felt their asses were chafed from the raw edge of the wood.

... Holes are still there though.

 

[onewheeled]

Only if there was an optional rally or something like that. I never went to those, because they all ended up being a bunch of teachers going in front of the whole school and acting like idiots. Bad puns, unoriginal games, absolute shit music throughout, and being surrounded by the idiots that were the SHS sophomore class? No thanks.
