(and yeah I occasionally skipped days Ferris Bueller style)
holy shit. I'm only in my early 30's and I can't imagine getting away with skipping an entire day -- or more importantly where I'd have been able to go in my wretched car-based city as a minor on a school day without any money etc.
there is definitely too little room for shenanigans like that in our lives now
It helps that I wasn't doing it nine times a year, more like once or twice, so the administration had bigger fish to fry. I remember when I was seventeen driving up to the school and seeing that they were checking everyone's bag, saying "fuck that", and simply turning around and driving home. I don't even think I had anything, I just balked at the idea of being searched.
