Wait, so you're mad that the school has state enforced attendence requirements that actually have repercussions if you fail to follow them?
So you're saying "do what I want and still let me pass?" type argument? No way, my school had the same thing, I had a friend who was not going to school because he was 'sick' or 'wanted to watch a certian show that day' and the state sent defax to his house and threatened that if he didn't go to school then his parents would be fined and he'd get taken to foster care. Both his parents go to work at around 7am and got home at 6 and 7 pm.
He missed around 30 days almost consectutive before they came out and told him that. He had to make up his work and some community service to be able to stay in grade with us.
But all actions should have reactions, if you choose to sit at home because you're having an 'off day' try doing that in the real world when you have a job, or a family? That won't last long. High school is all about growing up, you should try it.
Nice to see what our schooling system taught you. Your argument is totally misconstrued and unwarranted, you say 30 days all together. Ok well that's a lot and it's 30 days all together but I have missed around 12 days through my entire school career and they were all legitimate reasons. I am not some careless moron who goes to school hacking up yellow flem onto peoples desks and or shitting my pants in a hallway. I never mentioned anything at all about an off day, I talked about how I missed my bus because I had no idea which one to take and when I tried to find the correct stop i failed. Just to be clear High school is not about growing up, if so there would be no rules about showing up. See why do you attend work, to get your job done, how do you usually do that? You accomplish this by going into work and doing your job. Let's say you go to work to do a job that you can do at home just as good and still please your boss with good work, then he is happy and you're happy. You may not fully understand this but I hope you get the gist of it. And in all reality school is just another place where they make a bunch of unique kids into the same damn drone that will never question anything in their life's.
Yes, you did say something about an off day. Cut the snobby crap, you're not better than anybody becuase you think you're 'too unique' for regular schooling. Yes, it is nice to see that our school system has taught Timberwolf how to properly use the english language, which seems to give you trouble. If you think your boss will allow you to do work from home, just because you say you can, you have another thing coming. Even if you can, you very likely won't be allowed. I find it hard to believe that you've only missed twelve days of school in your career, based on your grammar and punctuation skills.
If you think that high school squashes all the individuality out of people, you're kidding yourself. I know countless people who are still fiercely individualistic in thier senior year. If you needed to know where the school bus stop was, you should have looked into it yourself, instead of blaming the school for your lack of knowledge.It's not the schools fault that you didn't act quickly enough to get into the classes you wanted, it's yours. It's your fault that you have study halls instead of electives.
Stop using big word to try to make yourself seem smart. You've used a few incorrectly, and it clashes overtly with your poor grammar. There's this stuff called medicine, we use it to help us with small time health problems. You may want to look into it.
