Interdisciplinary Studies, Friday, Period 1
Squall smirked at the class as they entered and sat down.
"Good morning, everyone!" he said, cheerfully. "Today we're going to learn one of the most essential skills for a person your age to know -- how to skip class without getting in trouble."
Strangely enough, Squall saved this class for the last possible moment.
"Obviously, your best bet is to have a class where your instructor doesn't take, or doesn't care about, attendance. If there are no official consequences for truancy, it doesn't matter whether you're there or not. So long as you get the notes from the lecture, do homework, and don't miss any tests or class assignments, you're golden." He shrugged. "This is very rarely practical."
"The second best option is to have a valid excuse. Unless your teacher's a total dick, a valid excuse will get you out of trouble. Usually, the only good excuses are if you were too sick to get out of bed, or if a family member died. Beyond that, you'll have to clear it with your teacher." He smirked. "Of course, that's not very fun, is it? So, another option is to make up an excuse. So long as it's a good one. Your teacher will probably want a note from your parent, doctor, or other authority figure verifying that the excuse is valid. These are easy to forge. Keep in mind, though, that if you get caught, the penalties will be harsh. Also, most of you only have TWO grandmothers. The third grandmother's funeral you go to, you're in trouble."
He sat down on his desk, picked up the sign-in clipboard, and tossed it out to the students.
"Now, if your instructor doesn't bother paying attention to who's in the room, and makes you take your OWN attendance, that's also good for you. Get someone else to sign you in, and get a copy of their notes, and you're good."
"Another technique is to show up for the first part of class and slip out. Or you could ask to go to the bathroom and then not come back. There's a high amount of risk associated with that one, and you can probably expect a long, nasty lecture when you get caught."
"Here in Fandom, you've got plenty of other options not normally available. You could build an android replica of yourself, clone yourself, make a hologram -- anything to give the impression that you're in class when you're actually not. Or, if you're Jamie Madrox, you can BE in class when you're also not, or so I'm told. -- Of course, the rest of you could do that, too, if you had a time machine. And this is probably the only school in the universe where being turned into an animal or some kind of inanimate object is a frequent and valid excuse."
He shrugged. "Pair up and see if you can brainstorm any other ideas."
After a bit of discussion, he clapped his hands. "Okay, class! Your homework assignment for this week is, don't come to my next class. Seriously. At the end of the class period, your name BETTER be on the sign-in clipboard, or else you get detention. And when class is over I want all of you to be waiting out in the hall when I leave, NOT in class, or else you get detention. And you'd better take good notes, because the material we cover next week will be on the final. Have a nice weekend!"
[Wait for OCD or whatever Fun times available for all!]
