I thought this was going to be about a kid leaving ES, which happened several years ago with a classmate of my DC's. He was eventually tracked down and returned to school, very embarrassed.

Elementary school? Say something! High school? None of your business.

They are out at 10-11 am all week for exams. Lighten up Frances

But are you sure the kid isn’t a senior (they no longer have classes) who dropped by school for some reason and then rushed to go meet a friend at Wendy’s

Maybe they will be marked absent. This was a complaint of mine at a different HS. Mine would make frequent trips to a different fast food place during the day during their study homeroom time and was never marked absent. I kept being told “everyone” does it. He wasn’t a senior. Schools technically don’t have open campuses but the kids seem to come and go at some more than others.

But I remember us leaving in HS and no one chased us out of the building either. They aren’t going to tackle kids on their way out the door.

My middle DS did the Philly Cheesesteak Challenge when he was a senior. He was class of '21 - kid missed out on so much of his senior year due to Covid I was glad he did something fun. But I was super stressed that he and his friends were driving 100mph on I-95 and were going to get into a horrific accident.

Citizen’s arrest?

In a hurry. Good for him! Doesn't want to be late for something he shouldn't be late for - and perhaps that something is going back to school, after lunch.

The Wendy’s is across the street, it’s not like he went far.

This is not a new phenomenonI.

I'm old, and it went on when I was in school.

For high schoolers?

Let the kids have some innocent fun for goodness sakes.

Aren't upperclassmen permitted to leave campus during unscheduled periods, including lunch?

Yes they will give him the frostie and cheeseburger he ordered.

Just saw a student from Woodson high school running out of the building. Not one person was chasing him or anything.... Noticed him a bit later at Wendy's with someone else, mostly his friend. WILL they do anything to him?
