And three quarters of them will do exactly what I’d do: skip school, skip the global whining protest, and go raise hell somewhere.

That's what really chafes my butt about this. When I was a kid I had to skip classes without any help from the school.

LOL Yeah, back when kids were men and you had to think for yourself. There’s no fun in it when there’s no risk of getting caught.

ROTFL Too true!

In the days when kids were men and fathers were the wrath of God in human form ... you had to think and think fast.

We didn’t get credit for skipping school we got character-building discredit!

Character-building discredit? I got in-school detention for most of my senior year! 'Course, me and my buddy did skip one day after an illicit kegger, and we got caught after the fact hungover in the girls' locker room at a high school half a county away.

Hey, they invited us. We snuck in through the fire escape door. LOL Yep, it happened. Most of my senior year was a living tribute to the movie Animal House. I was so bad, my English teacher kept me after class one day to tell me the only reason why she gave my senior term paper a D- was because there was an informal discussion in the teacher's lounge about me, and it unanimous that they didn't want me back the following year, so she gave me enough of a passing grade for me to get my diploma and out of their hair. LOLOL!!!!!!!

Khmer Rouge. Using illiterate kids taken out of school to be political cannon fodder.

The Tienanmen massacre was also performed by choice illiterate troops that would not be able to write about it.

When I was in HS, they let students off to protest ‘Nam...some of us went to Mendon Ponds Park and drank beer and had sex instead of protesting...I imagine this will be the trend...free day off to do what you will.

Right; these idiots don’t yet understand their “schooling” was just a ploy to transfer taxpayer wealth through unionized gubmint workers into Dem Party coffers.

LOL

Sounds an awful lot like my senior year. (and junior and freshman) I don’t think I was there enough for them to tell me I was in detention. If our school had detention. I don’t know. I did get pretty good at foosball.
