did you ever

[SLINKYKATE]

play truant at school,i never did ,i liked it

[angel21]

Yes occasionally. Mostly to get out of P.E. I once went up the parked, climbed a tree and sat in it and watched all the other kids in my class walking through the park beneath me to go to the leisure centre. Bit risky!

[rinkins]

Nope, I'm way too much of a goody goody for bunking off!

[SLINKYKATE]

i loved p.e.especially hockey

[Bbbananas]

When it was cross country or hockey a gang of us used to skive off into the playing field of the all-boy's school next door (we were an all-girl's high school). We all used to sit behind an enormous oak tree, smoke roll-ups and flirt very badly. They were comprehensive boys, and considered rather naughty and a bad influence. Great they were...

[stevetheperv]

no but i played jesus in the school play

[craft1948]

lol jj - we used to skive off from our all girl grammar school to the boys public school next door - they thought we were a bit naughty and they were right....

[christine847]

no...................too scared of the consequences!

[funnygirl]

The first time I played truant I got caught!!!

Was on the high street, window shopping and a man asked me the time, told him and he then asked why wasn't I in school!!!!!!
He turned out to be a truancy officer and I gave him my cousins name!!! Lol.

[Stephen_G]

I did. A lot (bearing in mind it was over 20 years ago). Hated the place, Teachers and other pupils.

[craft1948]

For my last 2 years at school I must have truanted for about 40% of the attendance days - after my 'O' levels the head teacher asked me to stay on lol

[sqad617]

[craft1948]

sqad - I'm not saying and anyway you know I meant salla ...(sits in corner sulking).....

[Bbbananas]

i think craft meant me sqad - easy mistake to make!!

[sqad617]

craft......I knew....but I felt a bit of trouble making was on the cards.
Trouble is, you miss zac..........where is he?

[craft1948]

how should I know where he is - he lives about 10 miles away from me......

[Gormless]

No I loved school, even having to go in on Saturdays. I used to wake up on Sundays depressed because there was no skool. It never crossed my mind to play truant, which is why I got loads and loads of exams.

[sqad617]

Gormless....yes, but did you pass them? LOL

[RufusDufus]

Gormless like you i loved school so much that on saturdays on sundays i used to go and just look at a school! Still never stopped me bunking off and getting nabbed down oxford street looking for girls on several occasions!

[craft1948]

but gormy I never went and still passed the exams....

[Gormless]

It is absolutely true to say that I have never failed an exam in my life, because I always worked hard and listened to the teachers. Additional Maths was a bit of a struggle, but my Latin script was a virtuoso performance, we had that ghastly bit of torture that Virgil wrote to upset schoolkids, the bit about the sea-serpent writhing across the sea. I got a distinction because I worked hard and listened to the teachers.
