Question: Who is responsible when several students of different ages ditch school?

Answer: Each school or district has their own policies regarding ditching school. It is most likely that every student would be treated as an individual in the case of a group of students ditching. You will need to check with your school to find out the specific rules and consequences.

So I ditched today, or at least tried, and they sent 2 cops and the Principanl and Dean after me...out area has no Truency laws or anything, and I'm generally a good kid and all. They told me I would get suspended if I left, so I called my mom and asked hyr. Shi said it was fine, but I would get suspended if shi didn't come to get me. So shi came to get me, and we left. Can they really keep me there like that, and suspend me if I leave without permision? I mean that would alomost be good, then I wouldn't be at school at least.

As much as I'd love to ditch school and just live life to the fullest (hey, Bush isn't going anywhere), I think I'll stay in school. The reason? It's the only place you can really socialize with kids your own age!
