Today, I fell down the stairs and broke my arm. I went into hospital to get it put in a cast, but still went into school afterwards. I got written up for truancy because I didn't have a doctor's note. The cast was still on my arm. FML

That really sucks. It's happened to me before. Ah well, life goes on.

You sure are a bastard. One would think that a cast on an arm that was only recently put on would be enough evidence.

You know the hospital emergency room could have given you a note signed by the on call E.R. doctor

That's not truancy; that's tardiness. But, easy solution: bring in a note and the school should correct that in their records.

At least make it summin believable the doctor wouldn't let you go straight after :l

Same with my braces I missed ONE period and I was "absent" the rest of the day

I do feel bad for you. But at my school getting the doctors note was rule #1. And just because you have the cast doesn't mean a thing, you could have gotten that the night before, they have no way of knowing without that note, hence its importance

always get a doctors note. you'll always get ****** overc if you don't

Its actually not just them being rude, its a law in american schools that there has to be a note from either your parent, guardian or doctor to get excused.
