Fr though- my little brother would actually play sick the night before and spend all day eating junk and playing games and I'd have to bring him his homework. But I'd wake up with flushed cheeks and an upset stomach, tell my parents get scoffed at and sent off. And then screamed at for them being called half an hour later because I puked in the office trashcan. I'd literally walk into school go straight in say "I'm feeling ill" and immediately, no hesitation, puke into the trash. I got sick A LOT as a child, thankfully no more, and the office lady would see me come in first thing and immediately offer me the can and pick up her phone because she knew what was about to happen. Sometimes they'd take hours to come because they'd go back to sleep, and I couldn't go to class I was fevered. I'd sit in the bathroom vomiting or laid in the nurses office waiting. It was awful. I had strep throat back to back, and it was bad my throat would nearly close, and they wouldn't bother to take me to the Dr until it got to that point. I nearly died of pneumonia because they waited so long to take me in playing it off as a cold or flu that would pass. Liquid in the lungs are no joke. I ended up with a breathing tube down my throat before I was even 10, it was awful. Thankfully aside from a headache disorder, asthma and a bi yearly cold (which I actually didn't get last year so that's impressive), I'm healthy as ever. Young me though was practically a snot nosed classmate away from hospitalization
Even if a kid is faking being sick, it’s usually still because of something else affecting them. Whether it’s bullying, depression, anxiety, lack of motivation, or “no reason”, there’s usually a bigger reason. Investigate, don’t shut the kid down because it gets you and the kid no where.
VERY LATE but Thats true! they will try to skip school (faking sick) cause they don’t like school. and why they don’t like school usually has something to do with those things.
aw man wish that was how it went down for me. I rarely ever showed a temperature on the outside and my mom had weirdly warm hands lmao. I always ended up going to school sick.
My mum had the rule if I was sick enough the school would send me home. Unfortunately the school had the rule if I was sick enough my mum wouldnt have brought me in.
@@alexiaroberts1012 Damn if I can't relate 💀 One fall I had some kind of a flu and completely lost my voice, to the point where a teacher would ask me a question and I could only make these little rasps and not actually talk. I was all the way mute for like a week and my mom said I should still go to school, I don't have to talk to listen and learn 😬
This kills me when the schools grill me on why MY CHILD will not be there, needs to check out early, etc. If there's no attendance problem... the commentary is not needed.
I'm not sure if the video is about a mum having to do battle with a strict school, or if she's re-enacting stroppy mothers phoning into school? I hope it's the first one! Does anyone know which it is?
I love this woman. Her voice, her facial expressions, the way in which she's so kind and endearing to someone who doesn't even exist...if I didn't love my mom to bits, I would kill to be this woman's daughter.
This reminds me of my broken collarbone at age 13: Fellow students AND teachers: "If you've got a broken bone then why don't you have a plaster cast?" My initial thought: "Around WHAT!? It's literally inside my shoulder!!" I did have a brace which was pulling the bone back together as it was a very tidy fracture, but that was hidden under clothing.
The one snarky character of yours where I'm in complete agreement! The parent is the one who has seen the kid and I'm sorry but sometimes you want the kid to finish breakfast or wake up a bit to see if they're really sick or it was sleepyness/grogginess making them feel sick earlier. My school had a rule that sicknesses should be reported before 11 and they would update the morning register. Makes way more sense than expecting a parent (who may also have work and be scrambling to find childcare for their sick child too by the way) to ring early in the morning.
LATE but my father is like: ‘well if you’re sick you’re sick, what do you wanna do? watch some TV with me maybe?’ my mother: ‘Oh honey! it’s totally okay that you’re sick. you can rest, ask me if you need or want anything.’
I wish my mom did this. She forgets to call in so by the end of this year I had so many unexcused absences that the school was threatening to send my parents to court because they weren’t sending me to school. That was about halfway through the third semester around late February. So then when I got sick THREE MORE TIMES AFTER THAT I had to tough it out and go to school.
My mom did this and she always gave me an extra day just in case and would wake me up my dropping snacks on my face in bed , telling me she loved me and then going back to work. 10/10 mom
This is so ironically British. If my Mum didn't like how school was going for me and my support needs? Bang, extra two weeks off school. I never went to prom because I wasn't in school enough to know when it was
Idk if this is only a UK thing or what? 🤔 I worked at a school in the US for 3 years and we had a hard time getting parents to keep sick kids home! They would send kids in that has been throwing up and running a temp give them some Tylenol or ibuprofen and send them anyway.... then we would have to send them home a couple hours later when their meds wore off. 😖
I love how the mum character is (I think) confronting the receptionist character. And their interaction is so believable… in particular you can tell the receptionist is trying on her usual officious nonsense… doesn’t work on an adult! Genius!
i’ve watched so many of your videos and jesus christ i wish i was born in the uk. my dads from england but moved here to marry my mom but i wish it was the other way around bro life just seems so much better there
I'm in sixth form. So I only have to come in when I have a lesson, and I usually start at 9:30. So, when I'm sick, and I have to call myself now that I'm an "adult", it's usually nearly half eight and the lady gets so annoyed every time!!!!! So frustrating Another time, I was calling my gp for an emergency appointment so I was on hold for about twenty mins on the gp line and then after, I called the school past half eight and I was explaining this to the office lady and she was like 'well it's more important to let us know' WHICH IS SO STUPID bc after eight fourty, sometimes earlier, my gp is out of appointments.
I remember I was really really tired and had a really bad headache that if literally complain every second, at that time i wouldn’t get that much sleep everyday so around 3 hours and my moms the type to not let me stay home until I’m REALLY sick, but I think she felt bad for once and she let me sleep, I woke up just as my siblings came home lol
I really can’t stand taking phone calls like this one🙀In my daughter’s primary school all the parents have an app and can just message the school(before 8:00 am) if the kids are staying home sick, or if they have a dentist appointment, have to go early etc. Very convenient and no explanation needed. Ofc if the kids have too many days off, the school will follow up. A lot of teachers-parents communication in our school goes through the app and e-mails. If you’d like you could still call though, and the school can phone you if it’s urgent. Before calling was the only option. So glad it’s not anymore. Just don’t like it! 🙉Also, the parents have to attend a few meetings and Christmas/summer shows etc. with the kids each year. I think the app really simplify things, we get info and messages from the school there as well. I like our system👍🏼LOVE your shorts btw💯🎉Very entertaining 😆Love from Norway 🇳🇴
My parents always sent me to school because I didn't have high enough temperature for them to be worried. So when I passed out 5 times in an hour period they never made me go when I said I was feeling terrible again.
My parents had fun reporting me in sick to school when they'd have something to say. I started getting kidney stones at 11. I got them a couple times a month in the beginning. The school seemed to think my parents were lying even though we had drs note, hospital note, imaging etc. My parents jumped on if they were even allowed to administer my pain meds to me.
Growing up, we didn't need to notify the school about sickness unless the kid was sick longer than three days... Parents simply sent a signed note to a teacher afterwards
I have really poor mental health, so naturally I have had a lot of days off school. I won’t go into detail about what’s exactly wrong with me but I often have anxiety attacks in the mornings and I’ve been doing my best to deal with it for 2 years now. Everytime I have to have another day off, teachers always act like it’s the end of the world that I’m not in. I’m doing the best I can
Meanwhile I rarely have a temperature until I throw up, and it fades within minutes. If I wasn't throwing up only I would know how sick I felt. One time a coworker noticed I wasn't doing okay, and I almost cried because someone actually saw how I felt! It only happened once, and I'm still grateful.
i was the luckiest ever, cause i never got sick, so i never got miss days for being sick. but i was really good in school so occasionally if i just wanted to skip a day my mom would let me
School policy is if the child has had vomiting or diarrhoea they need to stay home for 48 hours past the last time they threw up or had a loose bowel movement. It's literally their own policy and they still moan.
I remember having the 100% attendance certificates like 4 years running, one morning i felt vile. Mum said oh you'll be fine. Got collected at first breaktime after projectile vomitting down a hallway about 20 yards to reception.
I think there was only ever once where my mam told me I wasn't going in due to sickness without having to battle - granted I was coughing so hard I was struggling to breathe and was a little delirious as well so may have been some rowing like normal 😅 don't miss those days, now if my mental illness is playing up I just have to judge it myself before calling in
Thank god they didn't have the time rule when I was growing up. My dad always left it to the last minute to call in for me. We only lived down the street from my school and I think he was holding out hope for it to get out of my system 🤣
In America (at least in SC where I used to live), we don't call ahead. If we're absent, the school marks it down and calls the parents at the end of the school day to let them know. Sometimes you don't even get a call. But heaven forbid you miss more than 10 days, cause then if you're in highschool you have to go to court.
I will absolutely not be having this argument when I have kids. “Hi my daughter in X class won’t be in today as she has a bug. Oh? I need to phone before 8:30? That’s a shame, have a nice day”
As a kid who has to have hospital appointments and is generally in bad health, I have to miss school more than normal, so sometimes my mum gotta send me to school even if I’ve been sick so we don’t get taken to court 😭
@@withyoctopus yes for the doctors appointments, but if you're just sick with a cold or a headache then you have to go in so you don't drop below the required attendance - 96% at my daughter's school! 86% or less is verging on illegal in the UK
“Hi my child had a seizure so she won’t be here for a couple days” “Hello, sorry you are supposed to report things like that around 7:40AM and it is 7:54AM” “But miss, my child had a seizure-“ “MA’AM SORRY NO STOP BEING SO AGGRESSIVE” “okay nope bye” the conversation my mom and a desk person
Last week, my mum got super ill and nobody was able to look after her while i went to school (im in my last year of secondary school), so i called my school and said i was going to be off for a week. The teacher said that apparently me calling in sick for myself was “suspicious” so my headteacher called the police to my house because they thought i was skipping and my mum wasnt looking after me properly. Half an hour after i called in sick the police showed up to my door, asked if im okay and asked where my mum is, i said that i was sick and that my mum was at work because i was not risking my hard working mother get in trouble for being ill. The officers were starting to get suspicious as to why i was holding the door closed yet its literally -1 degrees outside, i ended up coughing because i have developed popcorn lung from excessive stress smoking and they just shrugged their shoulders and left💀 when my mum woke up i explained everything to her and she just laughed at me and said she was proud of me but i didnt need to go so far for her. she ended up recovering quickly and had about 3 week days off, we went to the cinema, we bought a new tv and went shopping ect. Me and my mum never got caught lmao
Mum would always know when me or my sister was faking. We would always get this red ring around our face during any temperature, and we would always say we’re fine to go. I remember one time we were going to make Tudor houses out of cereal boxes in year 3 and I was sick in the sink that morning. Mum asked me whether I’m up for it, and I said I was because I didn’t feel sick anymore. So she took me in, thinking it was a one time small thing, and as we were all lining up in the playground, I was sick everywhere. I tried to catch it in my hands and I remember so vividly it spilling over onto the floor and splashing both me and the girl in front. Luckily, my mum hadn’t gone home yet, and was just able to take me straight home with no fuss. As I was still feeling fine, mum picked me up some paints on the way home and we painted the cereal box anyway :).
@@opheliak5548 I'm from America too. You call in the morning before school begins and notify them so they dont expect the child to be there. If they see a doctor, send them with a doctor's note when they return so it's an excused absense. If you don't, you can send the child with a note when they return, but it's an unexcused absence. I've never heard of any school that does it differently, just people that don't do it properly. It was that way in all of the schools I went to, the one I worked at, and the schools my sisters and kids go to, all different schools and in 4 different towns. Though, judging by your attitude and typing, it seems you're a student, not parent, and haven't read your school's attendance instructions to understand how they want it done.
@@Delicate_Disaster I'm 35 years old n I'm so sorry my reply wasn't in proper English for u. My intentions weren't to be rude and all I was simply saying was that back when I was in high school we didn't have to call in the morning. We just didn't go n then would send a note.
@UCAEVyMM2VGSiMzwxgMpF4SA that makes more sense. Things were more relaxed then, not even a thought of metal detectors yet. I started school in 99 and it's been that way for as long as I can remember, but I started out in a city so they might have started it early. I was sick and in the hospital a lot so we had to know the policy for each school I went to. Now it's habit for me to know the schools' policies well. If you don't call in, they will call you to ask if you kept your child home or if something went wrong and they somehow didn't make it into the school. I had to call the police one day because the school called me and told me my step son wasn't there and when I asked about his little sister they noticed she wasn't there either. They are on top of it. They called just 15 minutes after school started, they give you a few minutes in case you're just running late.
Luckily in primary school our office ladies were and still are saints (most are still in there) and at my high school my head of year towards the end was so chill that with me having asthma and being off semi frequently with it all we had to do was contact her and shed mark me as present so i wouldnt miss out on the education maintenance allowance
I don't think I saw anyone address the time rule thing. In the UK there has been a massive push on School attendance. When I was in primary and high school you used to set amount of days off you could take to go on holiday (something like 10 days in the year). You'd tell your teacher and sometimes you'd get homework to do whilst you were away so you didn't fall behind. Now you get fined if you pull your child out of school. I imagine certain schools will put a time limit to make sure people are trying to get their kids to school on time. As oppose to having a lie in waking up at 10 and them claiming the child is ill. The time rule is a little stupid because you could easily get a clogged with loads of parents trying to ring up at the same time
My mother wasn't a great parent at all (very abusive physically, mentally, and emotionally.) But when I was sick and go to her she would take my temperature give me an hour or two to see if I feel any better before calling me out. It's one of the few nice things she did. I don't like my mother but I do appreciate the few good memories I have. I got really sick one night and she was going out. She said she'd call me every hour or so to check up on me and she did. It made me a bit better.
I felt really sick in the morning before school once, and I told my mom I didn’t feel good before I got ready. She made me get ready, so I did. Turns out I had a 40 degree C fever and tonsillitis, shouldn’t have gotten ready, got straight into bed after she saw me.
I wanna know the moms that actually did this 😂 my home would become a warzone when I was sick and couldn't go and every possession of mine would be threatened to be taken away if I didn't get out of bed 💀
F that I never send mine to school sick. It's to the point that the school secretary thinks I'm lying sometimes but I just don't care. sick kids should be at home with their mamas.
My mom was like the one in the video. I would go to school with a runny nose but never with a fever. But my mom didn't do the hand thing. She would quickly take the temperature.
Yea I had to go to school unless I was dying. Unless I had a fever over 100 I had to go. It was almost like I was faking unless I had a fever to prove it.
So I've noticed that , taking a kid in the middle of the lesson because there might be a doctor's appointment or calling in sick is a whole process like , parents calling the school reception etc. Here in Greece ( I'm telling you this as a Greek student) you can just walk out of the school no questions asked BUT the next day you'll get lectured by the teachers for not giving an explanation or you can just walk up to the school reception say you have a headache or you're on your period (generally just come up with an excuse ) and you also just walk out of the school UNBOTHERED
Bruh 2 days ago me and my friend were sick and he literally threw up blood and they didnt let him go home. Tgere was also a year 7 who puked everywhere. Thanks school for getting everyone sick 🙃 and the teachers take sick days off all the time
I was off Wednesday, then I went in thrusday but I was only in for an hour cos I went to the nurse and told her I still wasn’t well and she called my dad and I went home and I was also off today😍

No it just depends on your parents actually. Some parents let you stay off when you're ill others don't.

Growing up, we didn't need to notify the school about sickness unless the kid was sick longer than three days... Parents simply sent a signed note to a teacher afterwards
omg we have to have a mum vs school receptionist video like that would be so funny
Side note, I love your dress or skirt!!
I have really poor mental health, so naturally I have had a lot of days off school. I won’t go into detail about what’s exactly wrong with me but I often have anxiety attacks in the mornings and I’ve been doing my best to deal with it for 2 years now. Everytime I have to have another day off, teachers always act like it’s the end of the world that I’m not in. I’m doing the best I can
They always ask for your class. It’s like “*insert name here* what’s your class again? H6 ok thanks”
Meanwhile I rarely have a temperature until I throw up, and it fades within minutes. If I wasn't throwing up only I would know how sick I felt.
One time a coworker noticed I wasn't doing okay, and I almost cried because someone actually saw how I felt! It only happened once, and I'm still grateful.
Why is her accent so calming? 😂
I remember sending my daughter in the school rung me and said i need to take her home to rest because she doesnt look well
i was the luckiest ever, cause i never got sick, so i never got miss days for being sick.
but i was really good in school so occasionally if i just wanted to skip a day my mom would let me
my mom: youll be alright see how you go 😂😂
School policy is if the child has had vomiting or diarrhoea they need to stay home for 48 hours past the last time they threw up or had a loose bowel movement. It's literally their own policy and they still moan.
My mom is just like here is some medication now you can go to school.
My mom did that. My father was a teacher and as long as he did not know we end up baking cookies
I remember having the 100% attendance certificates like 4 years running, one morning i felt vile. Mum said oh you'll be fine. Got collected at first breaktime after projectile vomitting down a hallway about 20 yards to reception.
I think there was only ever once where my mam told me I wasn't going in due to sickness without having to battle - granted I was coughing so hard I was struggling to breathe and was a little delirious as well so may have been some rowing like normal 😅 don't miss those days, now if my mental illness is playing up I just have to judge it myself before calling in
Thank god they didn't have the time rule when I was growing up. My dad always left it to the last minute to call in for me. We only lived down the street from my school and I think he was holding out hope for it to get out of my system 🤣
I rarely got sick and even when I didn't feel well I had to go to school no matter what.
I love how the mom gets offended and defends her daughter :)
My job requires us to report in sick 3hrs before shift... shift starts at 5am so they really want us calling at 2am
Don't forget that as soon as you play any videogames, mum will be like "oh you feel well enough to play games??"
In America (at least in SC where I used to live), we don't call ahead. If we're absent, the school marks it down and calls the parents at the end of the school day to let them know. Sometimes you don't even get a call. But heaven forbid you miss more than 10 days, cause then if you're in highschool you have to go to court.
I will absolutely not be having this argument when I have kids. “Hi my daughter in X class won’t be in today as she has a bug. Oh? I need to phone before 8:30? That’s a shame, have a nice day”
As a kid who has to have hospital appointments and is generally in bad health, I have to miss school more than normal, so sometimes my mum gotta send me to school even if I’ve been sick so we don’t get taken to court 😭
This is an issue in its self x
I call bs on that. They just need the paperwork, sick notes from the doctor.
@@withyoctopus yes for the doctors appointments, but if you're just sick with a cold or a headache then you have to go in so you don't drop below the required attendance - 96% at my daughter's school! 86% or less is verging on illegal in the UK
At my school we would never call in a sickness we just missed and brought an excuse the next day
Stupid thing is if you haven’t been sick, are coughing so much, or have a really bad fever, they won’t let you stay home
“Hi my child had a seizure so she won’t be here for a couple days”
“Hello, sorry you are supposed to report things like that around 7:40AM and it is 7:54AM”
“But miss, my child had a seizure-“
“MA’AM SORRY NO STOP BEING SO AGGRESSIVE”
“okay nope bye”
the conversation my mom and a desk person
Last week, my mum got super ill and nobody was able to look after her while i went to school (im in my last year of secondary school), so i called my school and said i was going to be off for a week. The teacher said that apparently me calling in sick for myself was “suspicious” so my headteacher called the police to my house because they thought i was skipping and my mum wasnt looking after me properly. Half an hour after i called in sick the police showed up to my door, asked if im okay and asked where my mum is, i said that i was sick and that my mum was at work because i was not risking my hard working mother get in trouble for being ill. The officers were starting to get suspicious as to why i was holding the door closed yet its literally -1 degrees outside, i ended up coughing because i have developed popcorn lung from excessive stress smoking and they just shrugged their shoulders and left💀 when my mum woke up i explained everything to her and she just laughed at me and said she was proud of me but i didnt need to go so far for her. she ended up recovering quickly and had about 3 week days off, we went to the cinema, we bought a new tv and went shopping ect. Me and my mum never got caught lmao
Mum would always know when me or my sister was faking. We would always get this red ring around our face during any temperature, and we would always say we’re fine to go. I remember one time we were going to make Tudor houses out of cereal boxes in year 3 and I was sick in the sink that morning. Mum asked me whether I’m up for it, and I said I was because I didn’t feel sick anymore. So she took me in, thinking it was a one time small thing, and as we were all lining up in the playground, I was sick everywhere. I tried to catch it in my hands and I remember so vividly it spilling over onto the floor and splashing both me and the girl in front. Luckily, my mum hadn’t gone home yet, and was just able to take me straight home with no fuss. As I was still feeling fine, mum picked me up some paints on the way home and we painted the cereal box anyway :).
I love how she calls her off like we would call off work 😂
Cause that's what you do.
@@Delicate_Disaster well excuse me but I'm from America n that's not how we do it here. We just don't go n then send a note
@@opheliak5548 I'm from America too. You call in the morning before school begins and notify them so they dont expect the child to be there. If they see a doctor, send them with a doctor's note when they return so it's an excused absense. If you don't, you can send the child with a note when they return, but it's an unexcused absence. I've never heard of any school that does it differently, just people that don't do it properly. It was that way in all of the schools I went to, the one I worked at, and the schools my sisters and kids go to, all different schools and in 4 different towns. Though, judging by your attitude and typing, it seems you're a student, not parent, and haven't read your school's attendance instructions to understand how they want it done.
@@Delicate_Disaster I'm 35 years old n I'm so sorry my reply wasn't in proper English for u. My intentions weren't to be rude and all I was simply saying was that back when I was in high school we didn't have to call in the morning. We just didn't go n then would send a note.
@UCAEVyMM2VGSiMzwxgMpF4SA that makes more sense. Things were more relaxed then, not even a thought of metal detectors yet. I started school in 99 and it's been that way for as long as I can remember, but I started out in a city so they might have started it early. I was sick and in the hospital a lot so we had to know the policy for each school I went to. Now it's habit for me to know the schools' policies well. If you don't call in, they will call you to ask if you kept your child home or if something went wrong and they somehow didn't make it into the school. I had to call the police one day because the school called me and told me my step son wasn't there and when I asked about his little sister they noticed she wasn't there either. They are on top of it. They called just 15 minutes after school started, they give you a few minutes in case you're just running late.
Luckily in primary school our office ladies were and still are saints (most are still in there) and at my high school my head of year towards the end was so chill that with me having asthma and being off semi frequently with it all we had to do was contact her and shed mark me as present so i wouldnt miss out on the education maintenance allowance
A school I went to in Canada sent out robo-calls if the student was marked absent and it wasn't pre-reported.
Bro my mum was always like "don't tell anyone you was sick. You're going I and that's the ned of it"
This is so weird bc I’m sick and off school today and I’ve literally just seen this
I don't think I saw anyone address the time rule thing. In the UK there has been a massive push on School attendance. When I was in primary and high school you used to set amount of days off you could take to go on holiday (something like 10 days in the year). You'd tell your teacher and sometimes you'd get homework to do whilst you were away so you didn't fall behind. Now you get fined if you pull your child out of school. I imagine certain schools will put a time limit to make sure people are trying to get their kids to school on time. As oppose to having a lie in waking up at 10 and them claiming the child is ill. The time rule is a little stupid because you could easily get a clogged with loads of parents trying to ring up at the same time
My mother used to send me to school if the fever wasn't high enough. In my entire school life I was allowed to stay home like 3 times
We don’t have this system. Usually we just send an email to the head teacher and say we might not come this week.
My mother wasn't a great parent at all (very abusive physically, mentally, and emotionally.) But when I was sick and go to her she would take my temperature give me an hour or two to see if I feel any better before calling me out. It's one of the few nice things she did.
I don't like my mother but I do appreciate the few good memories I have. I got really sick one night and she was going out. She said she'd call me every hour or so to check up on me and she did. It made me a bit better.
I felt really sick in the morning before school once, and I told my mom I didn’t feel good before I got ready.
She made me get ready, so I did.
Turns out I had a 40 degree C fever and tonsillitis, shouldn’t have gotten ready, got straight into bed after she saw me.
Be great to see this parent vs the awful receptionist face to face. Damn Wrestlemania main event stuff.
I wanna know the moms that actually did this 😂 my home would become a warzone when I was sick and couldn't go and every possession of mine would be threatened to be taken away if I didn't get out of bed 💀
Even during Covid? Your mum, dad and/or guardian really must not want you at home then. 🤨💀
This is most mum's. You are a childhood abuse survivor sweets, dunno if you're aware. ❤️💔
F that I never send mine to school sick. It's to the point that the school secretary thinks I'm lying sometimes but I just don't care. sick kids should be at home with their mamas.
My mom was like the one in the video. I would go to school with a runny nose but never with a fever. But my mom didn't do the hand thing. She would quickly take the temperature.
Yea I had to go to school unless I was dying. Unless I had a fever over 100 I had to go. It was almost like I was faking unless I had a fever to prove it.
My mom would not let me stay home THAT easily 😭
So I've noticed that , taking a kid in the middle of the lesson because there might be a doctor's appointment or calling in sick is a whole process like , parents calling the school reception etc. Here in Greece ( I'm telling you this as a Greek student) you can just walk out of the school no questions asked BUT the next day you'll get lectured by the teachers for not giving an explanation or you can just walk up to the school reception say you have a headache or you're on your period (generally just come up with an excuse ) and you also just walk out of the school UNBOTHERED
That is word for word from my mum 😂
Bruh 2 days ago me and my friend were sick and he literally threw up blood and they didnt let him go home. Tgere was also a year 7 who puked everywhere. Thanks school for getting everyone sick 🙃 and the teachers take sick days off all the time
I was off Wednesday, then I went in thrusday but I was only in for an hour cos I went to the nurse and told her I still wasn’t well and she called my dad and I went home and I was also off today😍
