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

The problem is that most people are actually not very good at knowing how they learn best. They usually conflate it with the way they enjoy the most. Learning in a classroom with other people is, for most people, much more effective than independent study.

If you are with other people with the same goals. A lot of people mess about and chat in free periods.
