Get Out of School Free
Card
- 1/22
So I am with this youth organization now that's doing this
exchange program with Norway, but the thing is no kids want to
apply. I say the program is being sold wrong. The message
shouldn't be "Who wants to go to Norway?" It should be "Who wants
to get out of school?"
In middle school I had to go with my science class to a lab one
day. Sucks, right? But I got out of school. Awesome. When can I
start pouring some test tubes?
I think kids would rather go to Afghanistan to look for Osama than
go to school. 'Dude, you want to go overseas and look for Bin
Laden?' 'Do you we get out of school?' 'Yeah.' 'Count me in! The
longer the search the better.' Maybe that's why we haven't found
him yet, because the search team is made up of kids who never want
to do homework again.
I was one of those kids that never wanted to miss school. I was
always too afraid I was going to fall behind and miss critical
information. When I was six I was home a week with the chickenpox.
Forget the fact that my body is covered with spots and I'm bathing
in oatmeal, I might be left back.
The thing is you don't miss any critical information in school.
Life isn't important back then. Life isn't even important now. You
know when life gets important? When you need to remember which
medications to take to keep you alive. That's critical. When you
have to take two pills or shoot yourself up with insulin every six
hours so you don't go into shock or sweat for no reason. That's an
excuse that will get you out of school. |
