Dear friends, especially schoolchildren! We've all been in your shoes, so we know how much you sometimes feel like going to school. Especially when you spent half the night in contact, discussing with the girl-boy you like how you will spend Saturday evening. At such moments, you don’t think at all that in three hours a nasty alarm clock will start ringing. And then, when the damned drill still rings out and comes to consciousness the third time, you can’t open your eyes and sleepily think about what to say to your beloved parents so that they officially allow you to skip school just once!

Unfortunately, parents are people who do not intend to make life easier for their relatives and friends, their only and adored children in any case. Probably, when a person becomes a parent himself, some hidden genetic code is triggered, which removes all memories of the time when the adult himself was a teenage child. Otherwise, how can one explain the fact that parents are in no way willing to understand the completely normal desire of children to skip classes from time to time? There are simply no other explanations.
From about the 8th grade, I personally realized how strong the desire to run away from classes can be, and not even show up at school one day at all. Soon I mastered the skill of absenteeism to the fullest. Fortunately, the experience of numerous friends - classmates helped. So rejoice, students! Today the truancy guru will share his secrets

The easiest thing, and at the same time the most difficult thing, is to honestly go to your parents and ask them once a year to let you stay at home. At the same time, it is advisable to rehearse a conversation in front of a mirror before this. You need to learn how to make a touching face with insanely touching eyes, like a cat from Shrek. At the same time, it is necessary to add without hesitation that today at school there are still only two lessons, and one of them is physical education, and the second is life safety. Any sane parent can take this bait and think: “Oh, it was, it wasn’t! I’ll leave my child at home, why go to school for the sake of these two lessons? Not algebra! In general, the method is not bad, and it can work, but it can be used at most once or twice a year. So get armed!

Why say anything to mom and dad at all?

Move on. Sometimes you don't have to tell your parents that you're going to skip school. Well, why, pray tell, busy people worry about such nonsense? Parents need to be protected from such trifles in life. Moreover, if dad and mom suspect something is wrong, the absenteeism plan may fail. So the main thing is that parents do not find out. And at school, for a single absenteeism, as a rule, they generally close their eyes. Who needs to follow you? Now, if you had been sitting at home for a month, the alarm would have been raised. And for one day, they usually do not pay attention. In which case, lie that you were at the medical examination at the clinic - such information is not checked.


This is the action plan. You need to get up in the morning and calmly get ready for school, as if nothing had happened. And even leave home. Only at the same time you don’t need to come to school, and you don’t need to catch the eye of classmates (if they are not in the subject). They will hand over with all the giblets, they are like that! How to spend time - decide for yourself. We do not recommend sitting in the entrances, but doing something useful, such as visiting a movie theater and a cafe with a couple of friends, is always a pleasure. And do not try to arrange a party at home! Neighbors in the evening may inadvertently blurt out to parents that it was noisy at your place and then an extremely unpleasant conversation awaits you. The consequences can be grandiose, up to bringing you by the hand to the threshold of the school for six months, which will insanely amuse everyone around you, except for yourself, of course.

My head, my head...

If you have already tried both methods, and everything worked out, and the desire to play truant has become obsessive, consider the following ways to get rid of the lessons in front of your parents. Very true and common reason - headache. Right, why can't you get a headache? You are a living person! And you probably live in a terribly gassed city, where there was no clean air for a hundred years. Therefore, the fact that your head hurts is generally natural. Selflessly lie in the morning that your head hurts terribly, that it hurt you from the night, so you didn’t sleep well, suffered from insomnia, counted sheep, and now you don’t just feel unwell, but your eyes are also sticking together. Rare parents will not complain. 90% of 100 - they will leave you at home to sleep, they will also give you a pill for a headache, and maybe they will pour you sweet tea.

Am I to blame...

Now about the pleasant. What walk can bring pleasure? The one that the parents are to blame. It does not always work and is not suitable for everyone. It requires that your parents leave for work before you get up for school and that you have a lock on your door that can only be opened and closed with a key. In the evening, you need to quietly say that you have lost the keys to the house. So that the parents seem to hear you, but it seems they don’t. In the morning, sleep peacefully until they leave and lock the door with their key. Then, after about 30 minutes, call your mother and in a panic declare that you are already late, and they closed you, and you warned you in the evening that you had lost your key! You need to sigh more, sigh, sigh. Usually parents are in no hurry to return home to unlock the student. And now, ahead of you is waiting for a whole day of rest at home legally! And you are not even almost to blame for what happened.

Elevator he and in Africa an elevator

Another option is the elevator is stuck. The perfect solution for truancy the unexpected. Again, you need to call your parents and report with horror in your voice that you are stuck in the elevator, you pressed the panic button, but there are no masters and no. It is clear that in the morning the repair teams are not in a hurry to respond to the call, so your words will sound convincing. The only catch is the neighbors. They can easily tell their parents that the elevator was working. And even especially harmful ancestors can go to sort things out with elevator operators in the evening. After all, the child skipped school through their fault! You understand what such disassembly can lead to. In general, there is a risk. But who does not take risks does not drink champagne ... hmm, sorry, soda! So once you can try to implement this, maybe it will blow.

Sleep is the best medicine... for school!

And the last one for today. The simplest and most effective. Don't want to go to school? So wake her up! But, of course, it's not your fault, it's the alarm clock that's broken. Again, you need acting data. To call your parents and scream in horror that you overslept, the vile traitor did not wake up the alarm clock. At the same time, it is desirable to really somehow spoil the alarm clock a little (ancestors can check it). And do not forget to mention in a conversation with your parents that today there are only three lessons, and you have already skipped one and a half of them, and not of your own free will, but by a combination of tragic circumstances. As a rule, parents take such explanations at face value and leave their children at home.
So, now you know a few specific ways to skip classes. Personally, I and my friends used them. But at the same time, dear today's schoolchildren reading this article, we studied well. It is only necessary to skip so that there is no damage to knowledge. And for this you need not be lazy. For example, a week to plow like a horse, and then sleep for a day. By the way, when you get excellent grades in the magazine, teachers and trust you more, and parents are more comfortable with the occasional absenteeism. So the truth is simple - you need to skip wisely. And without the mind in this world there is nothing to do!

Skipping school can be quite difficult. If you're going to pretend to be sick, then a day off from school will require you to prepare and considerable acting skills. Even if you miss classes for a good reason, missed assignments will accumulate. But there are days when there is absolutely no energy to go to school! This is where our tips on how to convince your parents to leave you at home – for real or imagined reasons – come in handy.

Steps

Part 1

pretending

Plan ahead. It's more likely that your parents will believe you when you get up in the morning and say you're not well if you set the stage the previous evening.

• The sooner you start pretending to be sick, the more time you will have to show the deterioration of your condition. Demonstrate a little fatigue the night before. For example, instead of walking down the street after school, stay at home and lie in your room.
• Be sluggish in front of your parents. They should give the impression that you are tired and have no strength. In the evening, do not stick to your usual routine. If you watch TV, lie down and show no interest in anything. You should also go to bed earlier and make sure your parents notice.
• Add fire to the idea - eat very little at dinner or make an attempt to eat something, but grab your stomach, as if you were in sharp pain. Say you're not well. Of course skip dessert. You can also ask your parents to give you hot tea to soothe your stomach.
• Tell your parents that a classmate of yours threw up at school or that a friend missed school. Make sure it's a friend your parents don't know. This information will add fuel to the fire.

1. Show symptoms. Externally visible symptoms, such as a rash, are difficult to portray convincingly, so in most cases, you should show external signs of internal pain.

   Be unobtrusive but persuasive. One of the biggest mistakes is overplaying. If you act out your imaginary illness too dramatically, your parents may catch the fake.

   • It is best to act out a simple ailment instead of pretending that you have some kind of illness for which proof is needed. Trying to make a vomit sound can be quite risky, as your parents may catch you in a lie. In the same way, if you want to play a high temperature and dip the thermometer into something hot, it can backfire on you.
   • Don't protest too much when your parents tell you not to go to school. You might think that acting out worrying about missing class might be more convincing, and that staying home too much might arouse suspicion. But don't forget that if you really felt as bad as you're pretending, your parents wouldn't have to convince you to stay home. Hesitate before you agree, but don't act like you're too worried about skipping school, especially if that concern doesn't fit your role.

2. Don't recover too quickly. Never forget that your parents may take you to school later if they realize you've recovered or that you've been faking it. If you want to skip school by feigning illness, you should keep that imaginary illness going throughout the school day.

   • You should recover gradually throughout the day. Rest and be relaxed. By lunchtime, you may mention that you are starting to get better, but you are not yet well. By late evening, your recovery should be almost complete.

3. Don't pretend to be sick too often. If you pretend to be ill too often, your parents may not believe you when you actually get sick and need to stay at home.

   Part 2

   We don't pretend

   1. Tell your parents if you are sick. This is the most common reason students miss school. If you are really unwell or think you are getting sick, tell your parents and ask to be left at home.

      Stay at home if you are experiencing some kind of shock. For example, if you recently lost a family member, friend, or other person you were close to, your grief is a good reason to stay home and not go to school. Be honest with your parents about how much the loss has affected you.

      • If the tragedy befell you but not your parents, you may think that it will be difficult for them to understand you. Grief is a universal feeling and most people can put themselves in your shoes and give you time to process the loss.
      • However, you should understand that the period of sadness must end someday. Intense sadness can last for quite a long time, and it can be difficult for you to extricate yourself from this situation on your own. If you feel that after a few days to a week you are still unable to go to school, you should talk to a psychologist and ask him to help you through your grief.

   2. Be honest if you are being bullied at school. If you are the victim of a bully or a group of bullies at school, talk to your parents or other loved ones about it. Explain how difficult your school life has become as a result of the bullying and ask that you be allowed to stay away from school for a day or two until things settle down.

      Ask to skip school. Tell Mom and Dad that you want to spend a special day with them and let them take the day off from work. This plan can work especially if you're graduating high school soon and going to a higher education institution in another city, or if it's going to be an easy day at work for you and your parents (for example, you don't have any tests and your parents don't have urgent assignments at work). ).

      Get permission for a mental health day. It is important to talk to parents about anxiety and stress. Adults often forget how difficult school life can be, when in fact, the stress level during study is quite high. If you're going through the usual school-related stress, it might be more beneficial for you to deal with it and get through it all. If stress, anxiety, and depression become more of a problem, tell a parent or counselor about it and ask for a day without school.

      • If you suspect that you may be developing a serious mental health problem, such as depression or an anxiety disorder, ask your parents to make an appointment with your doctor. This can signal the seriousness of your problem to your parents, and if you do have some kind of disorder, then going to the doctor will help you control your condition.

   3. Stay at home if weather or nature conditions require it. In the event of a severe storm, flood, or other circumstances that make commuting to school dangerous, your school may close for a period of time. If the weather conditions are dangerous, but the school does not close for some reason, it is better for you to stay at home early.

      • Usually parents or educators will help you figure out how bad the weather is for staying home, so you may not have to convince anyone of anything. If your parents stay at home because of the weather, they will be more willing to leave you at home as well.

   4. Consider other special circumstances as well. A family vacation or a visit from a distant relative can be a reason not to go to school, but don't skip school too often for these reasons. Compare what you might miss if you go to school versus what you might miss if you stay home, and talk to your parents about whether you should skip school.

      • Please note that the school usually does not consider such reasons to be valid. If your school is one of these, you should tell your parents so that they can tell the school that you will be absent, without giving a reason.
      • Usually, if you know in advance that you will be absent from school, your parent or guardian should write a note that you can bring a few days in advance. This will give teachers time to prepare assignments for you.

   Part 3

   We're stalling for time

   1. Late on purpose. Incorporate some delays into your morning routine, finish your morning chores a few minutes late so you won't be able to get to school on time.

      • Dress very slowly. Soak up breakfast so you have to change. Get dressed again…very slowly.
      • Pretend you can't find something you need, like one shoe or a gym uniform. Find it eventually, but let it take you 5-10 minutes.
      • Complain loudly about having a bad day; shed a tear if necessary. If you're lucky, your parent will sympathize with you and let you stay at home.
      • Understand that your lateness also affects others, such as your parents, who have to be at work on time. Realize that you are putting their job at risk and decide if skipping school is worth it.

   2. Skip the bus. The fact that you miss the bus may be an accident, or it may be a plan. In any case, if you miss the bus, you may not get to school if your parents leave for work early in the morning or if they don't have time to give you a ride to school.

      Lose an item. You can't go to school without textbooks or a homework flash drive, right? Search everywhere. The more clutter your home usually has, the easier it will be for you to drag out your search time to be late for school.

      • The smaller the item, the easier it is to “lose” it. For example, it will be difficult for your mother to believe that you have lost your backpack or laptop.
      • The more important the subject, the more credible your pass will look if you don't find it. Losing glasses or contact lenses, for example, is more important than losing a notebook, as it will affect your ability to study throughout your work day (and depending on how bad your eyesight is, it can also affect how you will you bump into things).
      • If you drive to school by yourself, you may lose your keys. However, if this becomes a habit, the consequences can be bad (for example, your parents may not allow you to drive to school and force you to take the bus).

   Call the school yourself if allowed. Most schools require the student's parent or guardian to call, regardless of age, but some schools allow the student to make the call himself.

4. Get a doctor's note. If you have a long-term illness, your school may require you, your parents, guardians, or other family members to provide you with a doctor's note stating that you are indeed sick and need time to recover.

   • A certificate from a pediatrician or therapist will be required if your illness continues for more than a certain time. Exact times may vary by school, so you may want to check school policies to see at what point a doctor's note becomes required. This time usually varies from 3 to 10 days, 10 days is usually more common.

Warnings

• Face the real reason. Ask yourself why you don't want to go to school. If you want to hide from the abuser or avoid another serious problem, you should better look for solutions to the problem, and not run away from it. This will make your life happier and healthier in the future.
• Don't skip school. Go through all the options your school provides for absenteeism. If you skip school without a reason or a call from your parents, you will be considered a truant and may have serious problems as a result.
• Find out what you are missing. In some subjects, it will be more difficult for you to catch up with the class than in others. Before you stay at home and skip school, you should think about how difficult it will be for you to catch up with class when you return, and also determine if skipping school is worth the effort. This is especially important if you are pretending to be sick or staying at home for a reason that is not very important.
• Consider the consequences. You can stay home for a real reason or pretend to be sick if you don't have a real reason to miss. In any case, skipping one or more school days can make your life more difficult later on.

More and more Russian parents choose the form of family education. Despite the fact that in Moscow they stopped paying parents the money that goes after a child - and this was nine and a half thousand rubles a month, the documentary base has changed and schools are afraid to work in a new format, the number of people who want to manage the education of their children continues to grow.

The reasons are obvious: school reform, which increased the responsibility of teachers for the success of students, and, therefore, increased pressure on the latter; the creation of large educational complexes with a unified teaching scheme and the destruction of small schools and educational centers tuned to certain groups of children.

And if earlier people turned to alternative forms of education out of necessity - when health problems arose, the family changed their place of residence for a while, the boys' parents wanted to increase the chance of entering a university in order to avoid the army, or a child's additional classes turned into main ones, today parents do not want to send the child to school even in the first grade.

As a rule, these are “conscious” parents who are really concerned about the health and education of their children. They are ready, if there is no good safe school near their home, to consider alternative forms of education and directly participate in the learning process. When making such a decision, two simple arguments are usually put forward - with such an individual approach, the burden on the child is reduced, and parents, in any case, have to make up for the shortcomings of school teachers at home.

For those who do not want to go to school every day, today there are several opportunities to keep up with the program, pass exams on time and get a certificate.

Firstly, the child can study on his own at home with his parents, passing the necessary certification at the nearest school. Secondly, you can study in a family club, the teachers of which are hired by the parents themselves. And the third way is distance learning, when the school of your choice supervises and controls the home process.

These three forms of alternative education were told to Radio Liberty by a family education consultant Alexey Semenychev, head of the family club "Iris" Elena Svitova and Correspondence Administrator of the International School of Tomorrow Natalia Chaltseva.

Alexey Semenychev, family education consultant:

Frankly, many parents will say that if schools were good, we would send our children there. There is no radicalism here, teaching children on their own is hard work. It is very difficult to organize, for example, I have three children, try to pay attention to everyone! And if schools in Russia were different, and a normal attitude towards students was practiced, most likely, we would send our children there and not complicate our lives. However, the current reform has deprived us of this opportunity, since it has reduced the number of good schools in Moscow, and, frankly, has reduced the chances that the state school will become better.

the principle works at school: we will hurt the child, but he must endure

There is one important thing that radically distinguishes school methods and the approach to family education. There is a principle at school: we will hurt the child, but he must endure. We’ll put a “Deuce”, talk to hooligans, and from this his level of stress resistance will improve. However, it is not a fact that a child can withstand such stress. In family education, the psychological approach is completely different: we form social stability through internal support, through positive, through positive emotions. At home we say: no matter what happens, no matter what bad things you do, no matter how messed up in your life, you have a family, home, friends who will support you. And this allows the level of stress, which arises for various reasons, to be removed from the child. You didn’t pass the certification - it’s okay, now we’ll come up with something, work out, pass ... This is a very difficult thing, because it’s difficult for most parents to react like that. This is unusual! Because parents often teach exactly the same as they were taught, and this is wrong.

In fact, when a child studies in a family, all relationships in principle change: between husband and wife, between grandparents, between brothers and sisters ... You will learn so many interesting things about yourself, about your closest relatives, about your friends, acquaintances ... Sometimes you think: it would be better not to know. And there are also terrible demons that will encourage you, for example, to yell at a child ... Sometimes you think: Lord, why is he so stupid? We are all with higher education, we are all so smart, why doesn't he understand anything? And it is very difficult to admit that, in fact, this is your jamb, it is you who did not educate yourself.

But when you recognize some things in yourself, your serious disadvantages, you yourself begin to develop. And I perfectly understand that I changed a lot as a person when I began to engage in home education. You begin to understand children better, react to them better, and communicate in a completely different way. It's a completely different family world! And I would like people to remember that family education is family education, and not school, not preschool, not correspondence, not distance learning, not something else. The main thing is what happens in your life, in your family.

Elena Svitov a, head of the family club "Iris" :

Parents come to our club from the point that they know what is bad, but they do not know how to do it at all. When I started, I had both pedagogical ambitions and indignation at many processes in the secondary school, where my son studied at that time. I myself am a teacher, educator, and now I teach music in our family club. And then I wanted to find interesting people, really interesting people who could initiate some kind of bright processes, and not a struggle for simulacra, artificial things, such as academic performance, grades.

Yesterday I asked our children, the children of the Iris family school, "Why are you here?" And they were so excited about the "deuces"! I mean, nothing worried them more than the threat of a bad grade. They completely forgot about their "five", and after all, the children came to us with good academic performance, these are not the children that the school spat out, for the most part. But there was just a moment of silence after one boy said: "And then the" deuce "in the year - and that's it!" To learn and educate from the point of danger - in my opinion, this is the wrong emphasis.

it is easier for us to control what happens to children ourselves, this gives a sense of security

I would like to speak in defense of those parents who themselves cannot teach. For example, I am not one of those resourceful parents who were able to organize homeschooling for their children. And so I can understand those parents who are rushing about and looking for family clubs. Besides, I'm not sure that all families need such a didactic component between parent and child. Mom should be a mom, but not a teacher. And here we often find ourselves in the situation of a shoemaker without boots. For example, I have three children, but it is much easier for me when they study in a family club than at home with me.

Here we must also say about the psychological component: who are we, those people who go to such alternative projects? Did you pay attention to the eyes? The main feature of these people is hyperanxiety. This is very justified by the situation in the country, which is in a permanent crisis. We feel a total lack of security, its deficit. And it is easier for us to control what happens to our children ourselves, this gives a sense of security. So I would say that the main point that people from the public school system come out of is the point of alarm. And we create a safe space where it becomes easier. Because parents are not forced to let their children go into unlimited, chronic stress and re-traumatization, psychologically speaking. After all, it is absolutely not necessary. Many people say that we raise children in greenhouse conditions, that our children are less socialized, that the conditions of a regular school are about survival, about training, about the ability to cope. But if this is the emphasis, then where is the education?

Natalya Chaltseva, Correspondence Administrator of the International School of Tomorrow :

We took the scheme and, in general, the very idea of ​​family education from the American experience. Those children who study full-time at our school receive two educations - the Russian state education and master the national American program, which is designed, among other things, for family education. Everything is built in such a way that the child, working in workbooks and having a tutor (a parent or teacher can act in this role), educates himself, finds knowledge.

I think that due to the fact that money was still paid in Moscow, and quite a considerable amount, for family education, parents had the opportunity to unite, gather in some kind of circles and hire professional teachers. Therefore, the family form of education here has been transformed into some kind of alternative form. But there are very few such parents - convinced "families" who understand everything from A to Z and take responsibility for themselves.

There are schools, both public and private, that try to create a comfortable psychological environment. And by the way, private education often accepts children who could not stand the stress of a large public school. Let's not hide the fact that children with problems, often of a psychological, physical nature, with difficulties in adapting, also come to alternative forms of education. And all this is solved by alternative forms of education.

children with psychological problems often come to alternative forms of education

Yes, our state is in constant crisis, however, the law on education is one of the most liberal laws. Correspondence education is supported by the state, and Muscovites who are registered or registered in Moscow study by correspondence, like all children, at the expense of the city's Department of Education. And these guys are under constant, so to speak, vigilant control of the school. We negotiate with parents what program the child is studying in, what specific monthly requirements must be met. That is, the correspondence form of education differs from the family one precisely in that the school is included as a methodological component.

We have a lot of parents at the correspondence department who, with the help of teachers, do an excellent job with the education of their children. The situations, of course, are different, but if this is an elementary school, the parent is able, having studied the material, to give it to his child in such a way that it is understandable. We have been conducting online lessons for the second year already, and entire virtual classrooms have been created. That is, each student, sitting in his own house (and they can even live in different countries), receives a live lesson, communication in the classroom. And in this case, even during face-to-face testing, when the guys come to our school, there is no stressful situation, because the faces are already familiar. Therefore, today many parents are able to cope with this problem on their own, without any associations, and switch to an alternative form of education.

"Freedom Classroom"

The start of the school year is getting closer every day. There are hard everyday life ahead, lessons, homework, and, probably, every child is already beginning to feel sad about the ending holidays and come up with options for not going to school. And parents and teachers will again and again have to monitor academic performance and, of course, absenteeism.

Disease

There are many options for how to get out of school for 1 day. Let's analyze the different ones and find out which method is better.

The most popular, but not the first on the list, excuse for today is the disease. You can refer to any parts of the body or internal organs. The main thing is not to overdo it, as especially nervous parents can be sent for a comprehensive examination.

medical examination

How to get out of school at the teacher? Now we'll tell you. So, choose your day carefully. It is better that this be the day when the control or dictation is scheduled. The day before the expected date, we begin the preparatory process. We approach the teacher of the subject from which we are going to leave, or to the class teacher. We inform him that a medical examination is scheduled for tomorrow. It is held annually, and therefore cannot be canceled.

We promise to bring a note from the parents by the next day. When communicating with a teacher, one must be convincing, speak confidently, then a note, most likely, will not be needed. But if it is still required of you, ask your older brothers, sisters or friends to write it. Be careful when offering relatives to write you a note, because they can report to their parents.

The funeral

The second place in terms of excuses from the teacher is occupied by the version about the funeral of loved ones. Be a little sad when you break the news to your teacher. But do not overplay, so that there are no questions. In this case, notes are usually not required. Most importantly, do not forget which of the relatives was chosen for this sad event.

Raising temperatures

Everyone knows how to get out of school for 1 day with their parents due to a headache. But how to confirm this with facts?

A stuffy nose is easy to portray, just sniff your nose more often. Be careful, it might bleed. You can also peel the onion, and the snot will pour in a stream. But the headache must be supported by the temperature that the parents will see on the thermometer.

There are also several options for this:

We use a battery. This option is good when the heating is turned on in the apartment. You need to take a thermometer and hold it near the battery. In no case do not put it on top, as it may burst. Keep a close eye on mercury. As soon as the thermometer shows 38 degrees, immediately remove it. After that, the temperature indicator can rise a little more, literally by a couple of divisions, and stop. An indicator of 38.2-38.3 is what you need;

For this option, you need preliminary preparation and a computer. Turn on your computer or laptop in advance and specify the place of strong heating. We bring the thermometer to those parts that are very hot, and wait for 38 degrees. If the computer is in another room, you need to come up with a reason to approach it when measuring temperature. In principle, this method is suitable for any device that emits heat;

We will use the help of a pet. The temperature of any animal, cat or dog, is at least 38 degrees. We take a thermometer and put it under the pet's paw, actively stroking it so that it does not damage the device. We wait for the desired temperature and present it to parents.

Hot tea will help raise the temperature

How to get out of school for 1 day with mom? The answer to this question will be prompted by flair and knowledge of its weaknesses. Any mother seeks to feed the child during illness, as there is an opinion that the patient should be tasty to drink and feed. We order hot tea from her, it is possible with honey and lemon. Additives do not play a role in heating. It is important that the tea is brought before the thermometer.

When lowering it into a hot drink, be careful, it may slip out and break. We bring the temperature to the desired mark and wait for mom. If for some reason you are denied tea, hot milk, then you can ask for something to eat. Any hot food will do.

There are many options for heating the thermometer, choose your own. Attention, in no case do not rub the thermometer with your hands. You can break the tip and mercury will spill onto your hands. It is very dangerous. In general, when using a thermometer, follow safety precautions.

Do not forget to follow the legend after presenting the thermometer. We lie, we are sad, we move, if necessary, slowly, groaning.

Abdominal pain

Another way is to pretend that your stomach hurts. We start the operation the night before. We start the alarm clock so that we get up four to five times a night. Carefully, the call should not be heard by parents. We get up, go to the toilet and spend ten to fifteen minutes there. Loudly, so that everyone in your house can hear, we flush the water. In the morning, if the mother herself does not ask first, we inform you that we toiled with our stomachs all night. And now it hurts, besides, your head is spinning and you feel sick. We depict on the face, of course, strong torment and hold on to the stomach. To my mother's questions about food, we can say that we bought something in fast food on the street. In this option, of course, you will be "fed" with activated charcoal (or another similar drug) and given herbal tea to drink. Alas, you will have to give up almost food, or eat very little, and also sit at home. Do not forget to run to the toilet every 2 hours.

First days of school

How to get out of school for 1 day with parents and teachers in the first days of school? The answer to the question can be thought up on the go.

For example, it is permissible these days to tell your parents that you are going on an excursion with the class, and the teacher that you were with your mother at sea. At the beginning of the year, everyone will be satisfied with this version, and the school will not require a note. The main thing is confidence.

A small conclusion

There are still a lot of options for how to get out of going to school, but many of them, unfortunately, are fraught with consequences. For example, it is proposed to drink iodine, put mustard plasters or other warming compresses on the forehead, rub the armpits, etc. But it is best to choose safe options so that absenteeism does not turn into a real illness and trips to the emergency room.

The most honest way is to just tell your mom: “I really don’t want to go to school, can I not go?”. Surprisingly, this method sometimes works. Mom loves her child and does not want him to suffer. As an adult, she understands that a person sometimes needs to be given a "bonus", so it is possible that she will meet you halfway. Let's make a reservation: this method works extremely rarely, so you need to test it no more than once a month.

A good interpretation of the previous option: agree in advance with your mother about a “bonus” day off. Ask yourself one extra day off a month, it is unlikely that a mother will refuse such a trifle to her child. The disadvantage of this method: parents are well aware that they will be able to blackmail you with this in the future, demanding obedience. Plus: you will know in advance that on such and such a day you can not go to school without “excuses”.

Not so fair ways

Good, effective way without prejudice to health: room with keys. Take your keys and put them in your mom's bag. In the morning, mom leaves for work, and after 10 minutes you call her on the phone and start shouting: “Where are my keys? Why did you take my keys?" Mom digs through her purse and finds the keys, then calls you.

Further events can develop in two versions. If mom is a busy person, she will tell you to find spare keys. Of course, you won’t find them and you will calmly go to bed. In the event that mom's work schedule allows her to return, she will return and bring you the keys. So you can skip one or two, which is also good.

Totally dishonest ways.

A completely dishonest way is a classic simulation of the disease. All methods are good here: from the banal “headache” to a full-scale simulation of pneumonia with fever and redness. It is better to limit ourselves to "small simulation", since more complex methods involve the ingestion of various substances and drugs. Of course, if you want to go to the hospital instead of school and experience unforgettable moments during gastric lavage (from all sides), then you can swallow all sorts of filth. And we do not recommend doing this.

The temperature can be raised and quite harmless methods. For example, wrap a thermometer in the corner of a duvet cover or sheet and start blowing intensively there. The temperature inside the fabric will rise, and the thermometer will show the desired mark. After that, you can languidly lean back on the bed, put the thermometer under your arm and call your mother. One caveat: if the mother guesses that she is being deceived, trust will disappear forever, and it will be very difficult to establish contact with her in the future.
