Probably about 3-4, and I'm in Grade 11. I still went to school when I had fevers during middle school and high school.

1-6th grade I have no idea but not a lot, maybe a few weeks total. 7th grade like two or three days. 8th grade two weeks, mostly because I had to be removed from my home due to abusive parenting and couldn't attend school for two weeks.

Freshman year I probably missed 4 or 5 days. Sophmore year I missed like two weeks. junior year I missed a few weeks because i took a trip to Nepal. Senior year I had perfect attendance- which includes being on time to every single class every single day, all year long.

However, the night they went to award me my perfect attendance certificate (senior night) I wasn't there because I didn't feel like going to senior night. rofl. principal was soo mad.

Maybe 1 - 2 days a year since grade 7. Before that, perfect attendance thanks to my Asian parents.

About 5 weeks total over the past 9 years, mainly because when I get sick enough not to go to school (coughing seriously doesn't count), I tend to stay sick for 3-5 days.

Around 6 or 7ish usually. If you're talking about missing a class I've skipped 98% of my Psychology class but I have another class that day so technically I didn't skip that "day".

I've missed about an entire trimester's worth of days. More if you add up skipping individual classes and not just full days. Only a handful of uni classes skipped.

Middle School (Grade 6 and 7, Current): 2

The only times I've stayed home were when:
-Wedding for a weekend, missed a friday
-I went home sick the day prior, and the school wouldn't let me return the next day (Had to stay home for a day essentially)
*Prolly happened around 3 times

Hm... I remember we went on holiday when I was in year 1 for like a month. And I tend to skip school a lot... So if we say reception - year 10 (not including year 1) is 5 each year, we have 50.
years 11-13: 20?

so that totals to 100 days LOL

Probably about an entire year's worth of school. I maxed out my "excused absences" every semester and then, in my senior year, I took off 70 days in the last semester.

Excluding college, probably 3 weeks. The majority of it comes from senior year. I've only missed one perfect attendance award in elementary school, and none in middle school.

Ever since I started 7th grade, I've never been absent.
It sucks.

I haven't missed a day since year 9. (That was for my grandfather's funeral.)
But I haven't taken a sick day since year 8.

Overall, from the beginning of primary school until now, I've probably missed around 10 days of school?

My parents have never really been open to me staying home. Like I could wake up and feel like crap, but I'd know better than to tell them cause they'd just say, 'If you're sick and you don't feel well enough to go to school, then you also wouldn't feel well enough to play sports or on the computer.' (In Vietnamese of course.)
