Talking about absences reminds me of the good ol' days. My senior year of high school we were allowed 10 absences per class per grading period, 30 per year. It became an art form to make sure you used all 10 days in each class, so there were several days where (because you'd used middays for a dentist appointment or something) we would miss the morning classes, show up for the midday, and then find an excuse to check out & be gone again by afternoon.
Good times.
