NO because kids already have way too much time off from school. How can they learn if the school is closed??\n\nI'd expect a question like this to come only from a child who hated going to school.

It's the first deadline you have to meet. It could and probably would exclude or at the very least minimize your chances for a scholarship. Don't procrastinate, if you want it go for it like yesterday!

Becca's bill does not really deal with runaways, but with truancies, so if the child missed no school while being a runaway, the parent would not face any penalties. Also, the law says, "It shall be a defense for a parent charged with violating RCW 28A.225.010 to show that he or she exercised reasonable diligence in attempting to cause a child in his or her custody to attend school." If you cannot find the child, and they did not become run aways in part because you acted negligently, you would have a reasonable defense against any charges.

Yes.\n\nEven though the weatherman says its bad, your city probably did a good enough job cleaning up to warrant a trip to work/school.\n\nRemember, when you don't go to work, others have to pick up the slack for you, and they had to drive in the same conditions you would have.\n\nAs for class, if the school is closed, don't go. If it is open, go. Easy as that.

Tell them exactly what you posted here. They should excuse or re-schedule you. \n\nI was summoned while away at college, and was waived/excused twice because of that (since I was not living in town at the time). If you're studying in college, they will excuse you, so you don't miss any education. \n\nYou shouldn't have a problem with it.

Really, I do not think there will be much of a financial impact.\nRemember the campaigns last year urging people not to buy gas from Exxon-Mobile or not to buy gas on certain Mondays?\nDid that work?\nWhat about the anti-war protests? Any effect?\n\nI am guessing that, like most of us when we take a day off, Hispanics that take May 1st off will have to work more the day before and the day after.\n\nAt the end of May, we will celebrate Memorial Day. All government business will be closed. Millions of people will not work that day. This happens every year and somehow, we all seem to get through it without a catastrophic collapse of the American Government.\nAs for the schools. If parents are going to protest the fact that their children are receiving a free education for their children they are just ungrateful!!!\n\nIf I ran a business and people decided to take May 1st off to protest. I would fire them. I am sure a lot of people feel the same way.

take some sinus meds and do your best to get some sleep.  Unless you are running a fever or vomiting, you really shouldn't miss school.

I would like to go to school and then get a long break. Otherwise you cant go anywhere in  a short break which sucks.

It means you can't go to school there anymore. What did you do wrong?

Ask your local school district about their GED program. If there is a medical reason for you to not attend high school, you may be eligible for homebound instruction, but that would be up to a physician to say so.

Your guardian would have to withdraw you from school first.  But, you may need to be at least 16\nPray really hard before you make this life changing decision.

I'm sorry to hear about your situation. I'm having trouble getting back to school also because I and my family are too poor. I want to be a psychologist, a counselor. All you can do is wait and have faith that what is meant to happen will happen. In the mean time work hard. God(whichever one you believe in) helps those who help themselves. :^)

my sister refused to go to school and i helped home tutor her, she got work books through the local college and that way the family didn't have to pay for the fees. She also had access to the college tutors to help. So yes in hindsight your parents could have checked it out as an option.\n\nHowever the only person who could do the work is you and if you didn't go to school and do the work and lying about it, how could they have known until it was to late.\n\n\nThe point is you now have the opportunity to do some think about it and make your own destiny and crave out a future for yourself.

Be lucky we go to schools that even have summer vacation.  Some schools around where I live are year-round schools, and if you fail a state test at my school, you're automatically enrolled into a summer school program.\n\nI've never had to "take advantage" of that offering, but in some ways, yes: there is a worse scenario.
