45 Things That Non-Americans Find Confusing About American Schools

#18: Did Anyone Say Senior Skip Day?

Every year, the senior class students randomly select one day in the school year where they all skip class together. This is a common way for seniors to leave high school and plan a super fun activity for everyone to enjoy, such as an outdoor barbeque or day at the beach. Senior year is the best year in my opinion!

Seniors do get a bit more flexibility or leeway when it comes to the last year at school. It’s almost like going through the rankings; seniors have the most power. However, you do not have the freedom to come and go as you please. Your parents are always notified if you leave school early or if you get caught in any way. So, really, this one is Hollywood fiction!
