Today, I have to attend a mandatory parenting class due to a false report filed against me with CPS. My son's school play is at the same time as today's class, and I'll have to miss it so I can learn how to be a "better mom". FML

Today, I got sent out of the class for "inappropriate" behaviour. The teacher later forgot about me and sent a notice home to my parents stating that I skipped class. FML

Extenuating circumstances
Today, I found out that my professor dropped me from class because I missed a Zoom meeting. The only class I needed to graduate. Why did I miss the meeting? Because I was in labor for 32 hours. FML

Nice try
Today, I had to go to court to see whether my driver's license is suspended for an entire year. I woke up early, went to court, and everything went perfectly, with all the charges being dropped. Unfortunately, I then woke up, and am now going to be late. FML

Today, I explained to my teacher that I wasn't at school yesterday due to three doctor appointments for my moderate epilepsy. Yesterday was senior skip day. She gave me detention for lying. FML

Doing my part
Today, my professor stated that every student who had perfect attendance would be exempt from taking the final. Having perfect attendance so far, I was thrilled. Then come to find out I have jury duty the day before the exam; she won't excuse my absence. FML

Today, I found out that on Wednesday, when I have 2 exams, I'm called to testify in court. If I go to court, I cannot make the exams. If I take the exams, I'll be held in contempt and arrested. FML

Let's be honest, you could easily have avoided that situation by actually turning up to class in the first place.

Speaking from experience, the school either already knows you have a court date or they will give you a note to excuse your absence. Depending on the state, they can be very strict regarding truancy. In my county (in texas), if you miss more than 3 partial or whole days, you receive a notice that you're due in court. If you don't show, they put out a warrant for your arrest. Or they'll arrest you whenever you do show up to court. I've seen it happen a few times. This was years ago though, things may have changed.

It has changed. Last year I missed 9 full days and two partial and had to do credit restoration only. They didn't care that much, at least at my school, unless you missed 2nd period because second period is the class where the attendance determines funding. I graduated this summer.
