National Skip Day
Alright Guise, its that time of year again, when all the little kiddies nationwide skip school and frustrate the state and educational system.

National Skip Day this year is: April 28'th

So no one go to school that day, and spread the word around. Facebook, Myspace, gossip, etc.

Help Spread the word

National Skip Day
I've heard of Senior Skip Day, but never National Skip day.
Same.
I thought everyday was National Skip Day, didn't you? Naw, I can't skip the anymore school, because they are already about to expell me.
 
National Skip Day

Who cares? although I find it fairly immature to do so. There is nothing they can do to stop you, other than of course telling you not to. But honestly if your willing to get rid of your education so swiftly you shouldn't be one to follow someones instructions correct?
 
National Skip Day
lol il be skipping no doubt.

it's one day guys, its not like that one day you miss school will put you on the streets with a cardboard box... and if you have already skipped/missed a bunch, then its not like you really believe that always attending school is essential.

We should get a website. That would be ownage.

You are a complete idiot. "National skip day" as you little kids are calling it is the day each state (not sure about other countries but us anyways) takes roll at school and going by that day it shows how much the school will get the next year. so yes it will put you out on the streets because you will be so ignorant by the poor school standards that you will have the intellectual abilities of a 5 year old.

I couldn't tell if you were serious because that was a bunch of bullshit. Let me try to understand this...

Okay, so they take roll on skip day (which is of coarse is expected as it is not a holiday) and then they take their results and it shows how much the school "Gets" next year. Gets what? Free tickets to subway?

...so yes it will put you out on the streets because you will be so ignorant by the poor school standards that you will have the intellectual abilities of a 5 year old.

"So yes" to what? You haven't proven anything yet as all you have said it shows how much the school will get next year (Which could be anything from money to amount of people skipping). So then the school lowers its standards based on its loss of whatever it "gets" and therefore gives me a lesser education then what is required by the state, so therefore I get kicked out on the streets with all my recent knowledge erased and by intellectual has been returned to that of my preschool days?
Sorry to tell you this buddy, but a high school education is a high school education. Yes there are some schools that have much better educational systems and you can easily go to college easier and be prepared for it by attending those schools, but it wont lower my knowledge and put me out on the streets as you say.

Also, I attend school in Virginia. Kentucky, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and Virginia are the only states in the US who have a Commonwealth, which basically means we huge standards that we have to make, compared to other school systems. Some schools are set on a lower grading scale in which a

90-100 A
80-89 B
70-79 C
60-69 D
59-0 F (Or something along those lines)

Our grading scale is based on the following

94-100 A
87-93 B
77-86 C
70-76 D
69-0 F

So thats a 10% difference overall from a passing to failing.

Out of all the schools in America, these 4 have the hardest testing, grading, and placement ten all the US. This doesn't mean no one else uses this grading scale, but we do have a higher overall rate of education.

Why did I mention this? Because I am showing you there is no way I am getting put out on the streets for making A's and B's in a Commonwealth school.

Now that you are properly educated, I will continue.

One day out of 180 days of school, missing one day is a mere 0.5555555555555556%. Out of all your High School career, missing one day is an even smaller 0.1388888888888889%. Missing one day will make you miss 8 hours out of 1440 total hours of one school year. Now think how many hours a year you sleep, mess around, and strait up not paying attention in school. My guess it is probably over 8 hours. This doesn't even account for bathroom/water/etc breaks you take from class.
So even if your in school, your still missing a couple of days of educational time a year.

Now I conclude that skipping one day of school intentionally will not affect your education any percent worth mentioning overall. Even if every student in your school didn't attend school that day, the worst that would happen is a threat from the principle saying that He/She is very disappointed in the student body's attitude toward school, and that it needs to be takes seriously. The state isn't going to deduct anything from your school for skipping one day, and surely isn't going to ruin the rest of your life.

Uhh no.

1. My parents wouldn't let me in a million years.
2. Skip days are pointless and boring, I'd rather be in school.
3. You've just had a vacation, you should be rested enough.
4. You go to school 5 days a week for 6 hours. When you are an adult, you'll be working 6 days a week for 8 hours a day.

Seriously, go to school...
