Hello? Is it me you're looking for?

Oh, that's a definite FML. Sorry to hear that. I can imagine how that feels. :(

For those of you who remark about speaking up, there are more than just elementary schools. Later on, many teachers and professors will just read their list and look for the class. It's inefficient to do roll call when they can skim the list much more quickly.

That has happened to me. Only the school called my mom. I then had to call all my friends and ask them if I was in class or just dreaming. FYL indeed lol.

to me it was the other way around: nobody noticed i did not attend french once, but solidarity, op, i feel with you...

Oh that sucks, this happened to me on more than one occasion. Even my math teacher said that, because I was so quiet, that she doesn't notice I'm there. I sit in the front row too, but I guess I'm invisible too.

that happened to me once...my parents wouldnt believe me when i said i was there

That sucks.

you should be able to speak for yourself

That definitely has happened to me in one form or another. I'm glad when teachers actually call out attendance rather than just assuming they saw everyone present.

YDI..... could already smell you ....didn't wanna talk to you too

That happened to me once. I said "here" 5 times, but apparently nobody heard me.

That sucks.
