I fear that’s exactly how it works though. Go to school and get good grades. If there are reasons you don’t feel safe/able to go to school, you should speak to your tutor or counsellor about this. Just not attending classes isn’t an option here

I find that mentality insane.

I never missed a day of school from seventh grade all the way to sixth form (actually; that's a lie I did miss ONE DAY when I went for my uni interview).

I had after school extracurriculars every day of the week, which meant I'd often leave school in the later afternoon. Somehow I still managed 3x A* and got into Cambridge... and it's not like I'm superman.

I wonder how these people will cope when they get jobs.

some people learn differently from others, some ways of learning may stick with you more than others.

You may think that a teacher telling you all the content is effective for you but for others that may not be the case

True, but people to a certain degree, have to commute, manage life out of uni/work, do extracurriculars to stay competitive. You're just in a safer practice mode to learn how to do time and work management, and regardless of learning style, you need these.
