Sometimes you have better things to do on a sunny day than in school.If you want to get out of class because you forgot to do something important, or just can't stand the thought of spending another hour in the teacher's physics dungeon, you can learn to make your escape.If all else fails, learn quick and easy ways to ditch, as well as legitimate excuses for missing class, and more extreme and complicated methods.
Step 1: Just skip that class.
To get out of class with the most likely consequences, but the least amount of effort and planning, is simply to skip.If you want to skip the rest of the day, head to the bathroom, or just wander the hallways until the class is done, then go to your next class.You have to hide from prowling teachers.If you don't have a passing period in elementary school, you'll need to do a bit more planning to get a parent to come and pick you up.Next step is for other tips.
Step 2: It is a fake sickness.
The most reliable way to get out of class is with an illness.A convincing sickness can be pulled off by an actor.It's usually in their best interest to let you leave if you do it right.You should start laying it on thick when you walk into class.If you have a deeply frowning face and move slowly, your head will be down.Wait a few minutes and hold your head in your hands.Go to the nurse if you want to.You can either go to the nurse and sleep for the rest of the hour, try to get sent home, or just wander until class is over.Being an actor is important.The teacher won't believe you if you come into class grinning and joking with your friends.
Step 3: A fake injury.
If you can fake a non- serious injury in gym class, you could potentially get a friend out of class to help walk you to the nurse's station.If you're a good actor, it's a pretty decent way to get out of class.If you want to fake an injury by falling or doing something ridiculous in class, come in selling the injury already.Walk with a limp, or hold your head in your hands.Tell the teacher you hurt yourself at recess, or that you fell in the hallway and want to see the nurse.You can usually get out of class by resting at the nurse's station, or you can just wander and go to class later.
Step 4: Don't return to the bathroom.
If you want to skip school, you can either go to the bathroom, disappear, or leave school completely.If you've been behaving well during the rest of class, and you aren't a consistent trouble-maker, this can only work.If you want to go to the bathroom if you've been in trouble all day or giving the teacher a hard time, you will get shut-down.Make a worried look with your face if you pull the emergency card.No teacher wants to have to clean up a mess in class.You won't have to return to the scene of the crime if you have a friend collect your things for you.
Step 5: Stay away from sight.
It's important to avoid getting caught if you wander the halls for the rest of the class period, as well as being asked for a hall pass by someone who expects you to be in class.Whatever you do with your freedom, you have to stay out of sight.You can hide in the bathroom.It is possible to hide out in the bathroom.It's also the smelliest way of hanging out, so you might as well get back to class, but it is usually safe.If you can, try to finish the assignment.You can go to the quietest parts of the school.The band and choir wings are high traffic areas.Maybe you should go somewhere where the teachers don't know you at all.If you're older and have transportation, you can just leave and do something fun.
Step 6: Wait until your teacher takes the test.
You will be marked absent if you skip class completely.If you leave class and never come back, it's a good chance that your teacher will forget to mark you absent after the fact.It's easy for stuff like that to slip the mind, and you might be able to get away with it, even if your teacher doesn't notice.
Step 7: The communications should be stopped.
Most schools will make calls home at the end of the day if you miss more than one class in a day.If you want to get away with it, you can either be a hawk by the phone when you get home or come clean to your parents ahead of time."Mr. Jones messed up attendance today, he told us that everyone would be getting automated calls, but that I was in class."Try to find out the procedure before you send an email to your parent at some schools.
Step 8: You can schedule an appointment for that class.
The best ways to get out of class are always legitimate.If you have to go to the doctor, dentist, or class, make sure you schedule it for the day and the time of the class that you hate the most.If it's for real, you won't have to hide.If your parent usually schedules appointments for you, you should go ahead and do it yourself.Everything has already been taken care of.
Step 9: You can get a pass from another teacher.
If the project is especially important, some teachers will write up passes for students to work on group projects in their classroom, especially during study hall or other break periods.If you can convince a teacher that your break period is actually during another time than it is, they will write a pass for you to leave the class you don't like.Just leave.If you have teachers who talk a lot, this can be dangerous.Try to get teachers from different departments, like a shop teacher and a math teacher, who aren't likely to communicate with each other.
Step 10: You can ask to go to the library.
Depending on the class you're trying to get out of, you may have a legitimate reason to leave.If you don't like being in a particular class, tell your teacher that you do better work in the library, and ask if you can go study there one day.You might win a free hour in the library, without having to beat around the bush about it, because teachers are likely to be surprised by this.
Step 11: To see the guidance counsellor, ask.
If you feel like you need to be missing class for a more serious reason, ask to speak to the guidance counsellor.It doesn't have to be a big deal if you're just feeling stressed about school.Guidance counsellors are here for that.Tell your teacher that you're upset, but be vague.Talk quietly and seriously, right before class, and ask if they'll allow you to talk to the guidance counsellor instead of coming to class.If you have to come up with an excuse, try to think of something they can't verify.There were no dead grandmothers.Try "I think I might be having a panic attack."
Step 12: Have your parent call you.
You don't know if you have strict parents until you ask.If you have a bad class period coming up, ask one of your parents if they'll call you out.You may get lucky a few times.Ask one or both of your parents if they ever cut class when they were younger.Use this for leverage when you dig up some good stories.If you discover that your dad used to cut all the time because his math teacher was boring, you should start playing around with how dull his teacher is and how you wish you could just come home and spend time cleaning up instead of going to class.There was a boom.It's easy to call out.
Step 13: It's time to call yourself a pass out.
Put on a fake voice, call the office, and then call yourself a pass to leave school that day for an appointment.Use the specific date and time that you need to be absent from school to pose as your mother or father.Pick up the hall pass and leave in the morning.Scot-free.Get someone else to call you.Older siblings, cousins, and friends are good bets.Make sure the office workers don't know your parents very well, or they're likely to recognize your voice and figure out that it's not them.
Step 14: Use a fake pass or slip.
Next time you get a hall pass, take it home and make a photocopy.To get a cache of fakes that you can use and give to other kids, you need to change the info date.The note should be the same color as the pen or pencil it was written in.If you have a friend who doesn't know your teacher, you can have them use the bathroom and deliver it from the office.
Step 15: A seizure is fake.
If you have to get into serious anti-class warfare, you can still keep a few tricks up your sleeve.If you forget to study for a test or have forgotten a project that's worth a life-time of points, faking a seizure should only be used.Subtly complain about feeling weird just before class if you want to fake a seizure.Before class starts to wet your head, go to the bathroom and breathe heavily.If you're going to pass out, wait for awhile.If you are going to pass out, limp for a while and then fall down.If you have a seizure, you should fall to the ground and start convulsing.It's a good idea to suck on yourself.Most seizures don't last long, just a minute or two, but it's still important to not over-sell it so you'll start laughing or otherwise give yourself away.Make your eyes wide as if you're in pain by grunting.Everyone freaked out when you looked at them.If you call your parents first, you might be able to head home after the doctor's visit.
Step 16: Don't break the rules to get out of class.
Pulling fire alarms or making anonymous threats to the office are thought to be good ways to get out of school.These methods are dangerous at school and are often illegal.You could be facing fines for your actions.It's never a good idea to take more drastic measures.If you feel like you need to be out of school for a serious reason, talk to a counselor.Talk about it and get help.
