i know that many students like skiping classes for their own reasons. i also did that when i was a college student.
how about you?

To be honest, I have not done this in the past. Why? I don't want to waste my parents money who work hard just to give us good education. I should learn from their experiences. They have not finished high school because of financial needs. They worked in their early age just to have money for their food. I don't want to waste the good opportunity that my parents are giving us. I am lucky to have them and I don't want to disappoint them..=)

For me it was almost a regular routine to bunk classes.In my school days,it was one of the things which i loved.But there were some specifications too..i only used to bunk either my history,physics or geography class...as they were very boring!!but yes,i was very particular in attending the classes when the exams were approaching.At that time i coudn't have afford to do it!!

oh yes! I also used to miss classes in my school days and now also doing same in my college life. I think we all need a break while studying and if they dont give it, i take it by skipping classes!
also me and my freinds love to skip classes. After all college life is all about this........

I'm afraid of skipping classes when I was still a student. ^__^;; I was so paranoid that I might might miss something important like a quiz or an exam and I hate failing and embarrassment. ^__^ and I'm also afraid to absent. when I'm absent due to a sickness I get so paranoid and keep thinking if I'm missing a lot and that I wouldn't be able to catch up.
there was one time I skipped a class though. my friends and I decided to skip our english class and spend the afternoon watching movies. I didn't had a good time. all the while I was thinking of the class and our teacher! LOL

Oh yes. Who has not unless one is the goody type. But I only skip those that are boring but would do some self-study to ensure I'm with the course. Skipping class was fun only when I knew that I was not lagging behind the rest of my course mates.

i remember when i was still in the second grade, i would go to my twin sister's room and would tell her that i have no more classes, so we can play in the park. so, then, i realized i have been skipping classes even before i was too young and that habit was brought until now that i am in college. but the good thing is, i always belong on the top honors, and now that i am in college, i don't have failing grades. i just hope, and i think i should change this habit when i have already a stable job. this would really be a no-no at that moment.

lol! NO!
My mom would kill me! I do tend to go to class rather late though. Fortunately no teacher has barred me from sitting for any exams as of yet. I don't like missing class. It is as though I crossed a boundary. All is well though I have to say many of my friends like to skip when they have other plans... I am not sure how they manage to sit for exams with such horrid attendance

Are you kidding? I thought I'd be tarred and feathered if I skipped class!Heck, I didn't even have the courage to do Senior Skip Day!
Now, pretending I was sick and then having no problem with mom writing me a note to turn into the office to be excused, no problem there! My sophomore year of high school, I probably missed 3 out of 4 mondays as there was always a party after church that went pretty late....
