[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly when mine is doing well and not getting in trouble when she’s skipping, I could care less. If she’s managing her grades then she’s doing her job. If the schools cared, there would be consequences and there aren’t.

As far as influencing other kids, there are countless groups of kids who could potentially influence your kids. Those who do drugs and vape in the hallways. Those who never show up at all and fail. My kid who skips classes but gets all As. Etc. Etc. You just need to teach your kid to do what they need to do to be successful. It’s not my kid’s job to do what your kid needs them to do so your kid can be successful. You’re focusing on the wrong thing. [/quote]

Yeah. This selfish attitude is why our society is in the toilet and our collective values are being eroded. It's sad.[/quote]

+1000. I'll bet that kid is a mess or will be when she runs into a boss of professor who won't put up with it [/quote]

Professors don't care if you attend class (if they don't grade in-class participation which 98% don't)...they just care that you get the work done. In theory, the kid has good practice for this.[/quote]

Why good practice?   Is she planning over skipping classes when she’s hung over?

So many of you are full of it claiming all As in AP classes without doing all the work.  I agree that you can get away with this with easy classes but why allow them to start such bad habits?

I told my niece who is finishing junior year in college that theres one easy way to help you do well and that is to attend every class.  The hard work is done outside of the classroom so any way to make it just a little bit easier should be used.  The teacher will see you, you’ll know the teacher better.    It’s a win win![/quote]
