Skipping school isn't something you should do all of the time, but sometimes you need to get out of class.Maybe you didn't study for a test, or maybe you're too tired to stay awake in class.Whatever the reason, pay attention to these tips to skip class.
Step 1: Think about the teacher.
Pick out a few days before which class you're going to skip.Next Wednesday, 3rd Period, you might decide that you're going to skip French.You should take a few things into account when choosing a class.Do you think the teacher takes roll?It's a good idea to know which teachers take roll in their classes.You are less likely to get caught skipping classes if the teacher does not take roll.You could try to sneak out of class if they do.What is your teacher like?It's easier to skip classes taught by more relaxed teachers.You should never skip a class taught by a teacher who is likely to look for you.
Step 2: Think about the class location.
It's important to think about where your class is before skipping it.It's an ideal skipping opportunity if your class is near an exit that isn't locked.If you have to walk past the principal's office to get to the exit from a certain class, you should rethink your plan to skip class.
Step 3: Think about skipping your past.
Don't skip the subject too many times.You have a better chance of not getting caught if you skip a class that you haven't skipped before.
Step 4: Is skipping really what you should do?
Skipping class isn't always the best option.There can be serious consequences if you are caught.Extra work will be needed if you miss class.If there is a better way to accomplish what you want to do, then you should skip.If you want to skip class because you forgot to do your homework, you could talk to your teacher and convince them to give you an extension.That way, there is less risk for you.
Step 5: There is a plan.
You might get caught if you just skip class and wander around aimlessly.It's a good idea to think about where you're going before you skip class.
Step 6: You can hide on the campus.
If you're not likely to be found, go to a secluded area of the school.This could be in the janitor's closet, under the stairs, or under a weeping willow tree.
Step 7: You can hide in the school bathroom.
It is unlikely that anyone will find you in the bathroom, so skipping class by yourself is a great option.
Step 8: The school grounds should be left alone.
If you can hide out at a park, store, or mall near your school, nobody else will see you.It is important that you don't go to a place where people will know you are skipping class.If your mom's best friend owns a store in the mall, avoid it at all costs.You don't need the store owner to tell your mom that you were there at noon on a Tuesday.
Step 9: Leave the class early.
If you want to leave class a few minutes before the bell rings, you need to use the restroom.It will give you time to go to your hiding place or to leave the school grounds before everyone is in the halls.It is less likely that you will get caught because there will be fewer people to see you skipping.You can excuse yourself from class a few minutes before the bell by telling the teacher that you need to use the bathroom, take medication, or have a music lesson.
Step 10: You have to see the guidance counselor.
The best thing about saying that you need to go to the counselor is that nobody will ask you why and they'll just let you go.
Step 11: Have an alibi.
Tell one of your closest friends that you're skipping class because of a believable reason.If the teacher asks, your friend can chime in and let him know why you're absent and he won't become suspicious.If you are sick or at a doctor's appointment, have your friend tell you.If you get caught, you have to have a plan.Maybe you should reconsider skipping if you can't come up with a good plan.
Step 12: Off campus is where you should park your car.
If you are going to skip school, it's a good idea to park off campus.You can't leave your car in the school parking lot without a note, because most schools have closed parking lots.If you think it's possible that your parents will drive by the school parking lot during the day to make sure your car is there, it might be a better idea to park at school and walk to class.When your parents check on you, keep your car at school.
Step 13: If you get caught in the bathroom, what to say?
It is easy to find an excuse for this one.Say something like "I'm trying to use the bathroom here" or something similar.
Step 14: Know what to say if you get caught.
It's very difficult to get out of this one.To look sick, fake a fall or sit on the ground.This is a good idea if you are good at faking crying.
Step 15: You should know what to say if you get caught.
It's almost impossible to excuse yourself from this.You could say that your mom took you to the dentist.You could take a break and hope no one notices you.
Step 16: If you're caught walking around the school, you should know what to say.
Give the person who caught you the excuse that you were just running an errand for the teacher.You were going to the bathroom.You left your bag in the locker.You are on your way to the nurse.You're new to the school and can't figure out how to get to class.The excuse is most effective at the beginning of the school year.If you get caught wandering around, you should go back to class and use the nearest bathroom for the rest of the period.
Step 17: You should have an excuse when you return to class.
Return to school and attend your next class when you have successfully skipped that class.If your teacher finds out you weren't at the previous class, have a few excuses.If anyone asks you about it, you can make a note from a teacher or parent to make sure all of your bases are covered.
