meanwhile one of my favorite stories from high school in hungary was simply going home for "empty" periods (a friend and i could skip english class because we'd done the certificate for english). it was easy since i lived a few stops away by tram, and then we could maybe watch a family guy episode and go back. and it was better than hanging around school.

so one day the vice principal caught wind of this and decided to stand on ceremony, so when we tried to go back to school for our final class after the empty period, we were denied entrance by the doorkeeper type person. which struck me as absurd. teenagers wanting to go into a school for music class of all things (a subject that "didnt matter") and being denied.

anyway, one of the gym teachers came along, heard us out and let us in because she too saw that this was absurd.

after that, they instituted a policy of you cant go out during the day, because blah blah legally responsible for you blah.

so we naturally climbed out the back.
