My mom flipped that on its head. She figured, if I wanted an education, I'd go to school, & if I didn't, there was no practical way for her to force me. So at the beginning of every school year, she'd pre-sign a notepad stack, & if I wanted a day off, it was up to me to fill out the "note" & take it to the teacher.

I think I skipped one (1) class in HS, bc I figured I couldn't in good conscience go 12 years & not.
