My parents allow me one “skip-day” towards the end of the year if I have been getting good grades and haven’t missed that many days.

This year I won’t take one though because if I miss less than 3 days I don’t have to take any of my end of the year finals

It’s true, some days are totally useless.

Now, I’m not a parent, but I am a teenager. I’ve got straight A’s, but my mom doesn’t let me take a day off school. And it’s not that I really want a day off, I mean, I’m havin’ a good time at school, helping the Freshmen (I’m a Junior). I’m member of the School Council, which is pretty awesome.

Sure, I’ve got my moments where I would rather take a day off, isn’t that what makes us human? =)

well im a teen, not a parent, but ill tell you what my mom lets me do.

she lets me skip school a lot actually. if im really tired or something, i just dont have to go. most of the time i get someone to bring me my homework anyway, so its not like i really miss out.

I did take a week off school to go to Bulgaria, and in the past i have had 1 or 2 days off, becaus my mom knows that even if my grades drop, i will get them back up.

After that week off (that was this year), I had 3 C’s on my progress report. I ended the first semester with one C+, in my hardest class, honors bioogy. Now, i brought that C up to a B, and my progress report has I think 3 Bs and the rest As. My point is, my mom trusts me enough to know that I don’t want to do bad in school any less than she wants me not to (did that make sense?). My lowest grade in middle school was one B-, which i got in health, and so far my lowest high school grade is a C+. I’ve always had a B/A average, so I don’t plan on changing that.

So, yes, my parents do let me skip once in awhile.

I think that if they’re keeping their grades up
then let them skip a day every now and then, its a nice little break and keeps you from getting burnt out

once my daughter is in her teens and if she has all A’s or mostly A’s and one or two B’s then maybe i would because teens to sometimes just need a day just like adults do things can be going on at school that they need a day to get away from and there is nothing important going on that day then yeah maybe i would but we’ll cross that bridge when it comes as she is not even born yet

Yes school can suck, but my mom wouldn’t let me take a day off a school unless I was sick enough or we did something important like county band or the renissance fair the night before.
