(6,913 posts)When I got caught in sixth grade, the principal whacked me with a paddle. In junior high, I remember that the city truant officer once picked me up, along with the girl with whom I was walking around town in the middle of the day. I don't remember much coming of that.
In high school, the hallway monitor would sometimes see me leaving, and would stick her head out the door and yell, "Ed, get back in here!" So, I would sigh heavily, turn around, and trudge back in.
By that time, I was spending, on average, about two days a week at the other high school across town, where I had many friends. I was seen there so frequently that I guess the faculty assumed I was enrolled there. I would hang out with my friends, or read in the library, or sometimes attend classes that looked interesting to me.
