Title: Schools on Friday? (May 22, 2009)
Post by: konataFTW on May 11, 2009, 08:22:54 PM
I dunno if this is the right forum but I am asking if there is school on friday? Some of my teachers say there isn't because the dance is on the 21st and all projects are due that day, although in my planner there IS school... so I am asking does anyone else have school on friday? (lol since Karaoke Contest is on friday it's soo... XD)

I do.
Not going though.

We can assume it differs for each school however.

Um, school IS important, you know. Especially this time of year when there's finals and papers due before Memorial Day weekend, and last day of classes that happen to be Fanime Friday.
I don't have classes myself on Friday this year, so I can go all days this time.

Last year was different, because my graduation and convocation ceremonies were that Friday and Saturday. Even though I was missing some Fanime activities, it was a once in a lifetime event I could not miss...then Fanime that night. ;D

For high school or middle school, unless you have finals or its your senior year, you can usually miss that Friday. Finals are really hard to make up for around this time and seniors have all sorts of projects and ceremonies to deal with.

My school has class that day.

However, the great part of being a teacher is not having to do make up tests.   ;D

The best part of being a computer teacher is I don't even need a substitute. 

I'm ditching...the 6th graders are on their own, the classroom teachers will have to guide them.  :)

thankfully I'm taking all Humanities classes this semester, which means my finals are all papers that are due at the end of this week (meaning I don't have to be here next week for finals). So I'll actually be able to go to Day Zero for the first time ever ;D

every school system is a bit different, elementary, middle, high school and colleges.

from the sounds of it most school in the area [let along California] will most likely still have classes in session.

most of the college campuses will most likely be going thru finals around that same time frame.

a few lucky SJSU students [if planning goes correctly] should be done with finals/classes/papers/etc before Thursday's preview night.

Most stuff doesnt really "open" up until A) the opening ceremonies or B) the dealer's room opens up.

otherwise, pretty much everyone cuts school because they feel like it.

Thanks to fanime we probably cause 17,000+ delinquents... that includes ppl with day jobs... *cough cough* like me
:)

My kids' school is open on Friday in the east bay, but I'm letting them miss the day as we're going to Fanime on Thursday.. And anyways, they get good grades, so I'm not worried :D And their Star Testing was this past week, so they are good to go!

Well, I don't have finals that week, but my school is intense.  They absolutely refuse to let people miss school.  Some peoples' schools are different.  Would I like to miss school?  Yes.  But my school would just kill me.  Early college schools... they're too uptight :/.

I mean I never got excused absences in two of my classes when I was hit by a car -___-.

I'm pretty sure if you'd fought it that your school would have gotten in a lot of trouble for that.  Particularly if you had confirmation from a doctor =/  That's absolutely ridiculous they did that.



Thankfully I only have classes on T/Th, but I, like another person, have work on Friday ):  I'm actually skipping out on class (and work too, hopefully) on Thursday afternoon so I can get up to East Bay to pick up two of my roomies (yay 140 miles round trip...) and then going into work on Friday for a few hours just to get the agenda out for the next week's DASB Senate meeting and meet my minimum two hour requirement for being able to claim my hours (gotta love student employee rules).

I'm not in the middle of finals, just midterms during Fanime ;)  Yay, quarter system.
