    Fun fact: at my school if you come in even 1 minute late to class you get lunch detention even if your parent signs off on it being their fault
    However, if you skip the WHOLE DAY you can use a parent note and have no issue whatsoever.

    I’ve missed like 3 days of school in my 3.5 years in HS so far because of it. I was late by 15m in freshman year and went to lunch detention (alarm was set for PM and not AM, still upset about that) and thought “yeah I ain’t doing this again” and will now miss the entire day instead.

      at my school if you lose your pen or workbook you get sanctioned, if you lose your whole bag they are sympathetic

    Eh, back in my day parents were already gone for work by the time you left for the bus. If you missed the bus then you were walking your ass, or riding your bike several miles to school. You didn’t even think about not going, or you’d get a paddling and a grounding.
