Kind of a rant.. it's really annoying me.

On 27th February, I'm going the MEN to see the X Factor Live. So Mum said it would be best to have the afternoon off school, so we can beat the traffic when we get to Manchester, and we can go and visit relations that live there for a few hours.

So I went to ask my teacher in registration what the best way to go home at lunch time. (I.e. Book it as holiday or just bring a note on the day) and she said I couldn't possibly do that, it will be marked as unauthorized and won't look good in the future. I do believe my career isn't going to plummet due to missing ICT and English, once.

I never book like 3 week holidays like some people do to go to Australia or the like, in the 4 years I've been in the school I've had booked a one day holiday, so we could go for a long weekend away about 2 years ago.

Do you think I should be allowed to have 2 lessons off to go?

(Btw, if they say I can't go, I will just be 'ill' xD)

I just want to get someone else's opinion before I have to go and see the head of year of Monday about it

[Fom]

Nah it wont matter, just take it off, I skipped half of a year of school and still got in college fine.

[MarkWaldorf]

It's only a few lessons, they can hardly throw your mother into prison for that. Don't worry, I doubt people looking at your records in the future will look down on you for taking one evening off. I always bunk lessons and go home early and I've never had a letter of warning.

[Jake!]

You should be allowed, surely. This would absoulotley take the piss if you weren't. The teacher you are talking to clearly needs to go back to school. If your above 96% attendance, you will be cleared to go.

[Tom4784]

If it was me i'd just skive off, get your mother to ring in. They never argue with parents.

you probs should have sed you were going on a weekend break then they wouldnt have questioned it but i think your in the right i mean its only two lessons

That's what I thought, how is missing two lessons going to ruin my career? Jeez!

My form tutor is so annoying, she started waffling about her friend who didn't get paid when she took a day off to go to a funeral.

I do think she knows I don't get paid to go to school xD

[Princess]

Of course you should have the time off! I missed 3 days to go to the tour last time and no-one gave a damn!

Naughty Princess xD

I'm missing a day when I go and see McFly too xD

I'm taking that as holiday though, and I hope she asks where I'm going :3 It will annoy her xD

[Sam!]

Why the hell did you tell her where you were going loll. You should have pretended you had a dentist appointment or sumin lol. But yeh it won't matter at all.

[HeatherTWx]

Just miss your lessons! it doesnt really matter does it? i mean its just two lessons, whats the harm in missing 2 lessons ?

What's this about holidays anyway? We were just plain old absent! Although if I miss placement I have to make it up in the summer so I better be well the entire time!

When I was the MEN,it was absolute mania,the hotels were completely overbooked and all the trams were packed. Definitely go early.

[andyman]

Screw them! Take the day off, you was ill at the time

[Fom]

Yeh the MEN is hectic, i hate it when a concerts on because it takes me ages to get out of Manchester.

[Hugo]

You shouldn't have asked and just left thats what I always do and noone notices I'm gone. LOL
If I miss like a week I do tell them though.
I went a term without going to P.E once. :P

[Nicky.]

The MEN is mad, yea.. we're not staying there that night, it's about 2 hours home, so we will just come home :3

And I told her because I would have been in even more trouble because she would be like where is Nicky? and they would all see gone to see the X Factor xD

She had a right go at two girls who went to see Pop Idol a few years ago xD

It's pure madness xD
