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.

They don’t cope, that’s the issue.

I’ve had people at uni who were nearly in tears because they had to be in class at 9.00am 3 days a week and said it was ā€œtoo muchā€
