As funny as it may sound, but once I have gone to the wrong class. As in, COMPLETELY the wrong class. And spent the whole lesson there, watching a movie with other peeps. And, now that I am studying at James Ruse AHS, when someone suggests to skip... HELL NO! Unless I want to get expelled later on I have missed out on about 40 days in 3 years altogether, as I have spent 2 weeks travelling, and other times I had to see a dentist or was sick.

No way. I think skipping class is just too risky in my school with such high discipline standards, and would put myself at stake of possibly being severly punished. Besides, since we're blessed with a chance of having education, that millions of children and youth around the world do not have, and we have to invest that time in school anyway, so why not put it to full usage and learn, rather than skip lessons and end up with possible discipline cases and learning nothing at all. Though I agree, sometimes lessons are boring, and the lecturer or teacher just bores you.

Yes, I support your opinion. It is too risky, but, most importantly, only about a half (I think I am wrong, but anyway) of the kids have normal education.
However, even in modern countries like Australia, there still are problems with education. Especially with aboriginal people and their families. Not only that more than a half are unemployed due to unfulfilling the qualifications, but they even do not understand WHY you have to learn. I cannot remember the community, (I think it was "Tiwi", in Australia), it was sad to watch the video about them.

Sorry for offtopic

I sometimes skip some lessons if the teachers annoy me, or I don't like the Class teacher.
If I am in a bad mood, then I'll go walking outside, or inside. Sometimes the teachers or a TA comes out to annoy me aswell.
I hate them!

I started skipping classes since elementary school lol. Usually the first lesson,i always used to miss that mainly because i got up really late and it was very annoying to run from home to school. So i used to take my time and walk slowly . Teachers didn't really mind at that time

Now that i'm in high school things are a little different. I always try not to miss the first lesson and almost always i never skip class. That's because my school is very strict >_<. Teachers call your parents every time you're not in school.
I still skip physical education though because i think it's the most unnecessary class that there ever was!!!! even better than english.

I haven't been in school for a while, but in my opinion it's stupid to skip classes when you're paying for your own schooling. There were people like that at the university I went to, and no matter how smart they seemed when I met them, they inevitably made for below average study partners.

Hi, I also willing to skip classes and made it once at my graduation for english class. It was really bored and the professor does not allow the chat in class that is why i skipped the class.

I certainly have never skipped a class. I have always made it a priority that I take school seriously and that I suffer through every class. I can't tell how much I have wanted to skip French class though. The teacher and the French language/culture drive me close to insanity! Nevertheless, I have attended every class and have always maintained excellent grades. Taking education seriously is very important to me and I view it as the key to a successful future. I plan to attend a prestigious university upon graduation.

I never skip a class. And I never have. Even though most classes are boring, it can be fun if you have nice people around you. And you don't want to 'miss' anything special that happens in class. I once saw a classmate falling out of the window and falling on to the roof below it. I wouldn't have want to miss that.
Further I think that if you skip classes you will not learn everything you need to.

I've never skipped a single class when I was in School and in my College as a Fresher. Once I moved to the second year of my college, I started skipping classes. I'd go to the Lab or Library preparing for anything interesting rather than playing in the classroom on my Mobile. I used to participate in many extra-curricular activities so I had to skip many classes.

But I seldom skip Maths or any Programming classes as I loved them

Those were sweet days which I long for
