    Font - Teacher Hates Senior Skip Day And Tries To Ruin Fun...Group of Troublemakers Obey Her Instructions. LOC So this is my first post here. Apologies if I don't get the formatting right. My dad and I were talking about our respective days in high school and he shared how he and his buddies got back at their grouchy old math teacher, Mrs. Schaffer.

    Font - According to Dad, Mrs. Schaffer was the best teacher he had ever had and he and his buddies gave her endless grief, including using the phone in the classroom to pull a prank on another one of their pals. However, she took things way too seriously. She was stern, strict and was the kind of person who could never take a joke. Everything had to be done exactly right. Of course, Dad and his buddies being teenagers, saw her as someone who could use livening up and gained reputations as class

    Font - Every year at this high school, they'd have Senior Skip Day, which every senior looked forward to because, hey, it's a day away from school. Mrs. Schaffer, in her grouchiness, detested Senior Skip Day and decided to ruin everyone's fun during my Dad's senior year. To this day, Dad swears that she picked that year because of the shenanigans he and his pals got into. She announced that there would be a test on this day. Not only that, but anyone who skipped the test because of Senior Skip D

    Font - Dad, who had a scholarship lined up at his dream school, was mad. If he missed the test, his grade average would be affected, risking his scholarship. However, he had been waiting every day for four years for Senior Skip Day. So he and his buddies came up with a plan and give Mrs. Schaffer the most grief she had ever had in her entire life.

    Font - Senior Skip Day rolls around. Dad and his buddies went to play golf early in the day, as their test was scheduled in the afternoon. Once they finished their game, they hurried to the school, not even bothering to change out of their golfing clothes....

    Font - However, this became a big problem, one Dad admitted he and his friends didn't think of. For those who don't know anything about golf, golf shoes have little cleats (spikes) on the soles to help grip on rough terrain...however, wearing them and walking on tile floors is a bad idea.

    Font - One of them was smart and took off his cleats...but the rest of them were stubborn and insisted on trying to get to Mrs. Schaffer's room in their cleats...which was on the second floor and on the other side of the building. They were slipping, sliding around, grabbing the walls and laughing so hard. Everyone poked their heads out of the classrooms and were confused at the sight of these four guys trying to walk to their classroom in their golf cleats.

    Font - Somehow, they managed to get down the hallway and up the stairs without breaking their necks and made it to Mrs. Schaffer's room. There was now a new problem. While the hallways had tiles...the classrooms themselves had wood floors...which resulted in the cleats getting stuck.

    Font - They were clomping around, making a racket trying to get to their desks. Everyone else in the classroom looked up and laughed so hard...everyone that is except Mrs. Schaffer. She was beet red and looking like she was going to drop dead of a heart attack at the sight of these four idiots (as my Dad put it) clomping into the room, dressed for a round of golf and laughing as if they had heard the best joke in the world.

    Font - Mrs. Schaffer yelled "What are you doing?!?!?!?!?" and pointed to the once perfect wooden floor...which now had holes in them. Dad, who had calmed down enough, shrugged his shoulders and said "We had time between rounds of golf to take the test...so here we are."

    Font - Mrs. Schaffer, realizing that they did show up to take the test as she told them (and that her own ploy to get back at them had backfired) calmly told them to take their seats and gave their tests to them, glowering at them the whole time. When they were done, they clomped back out before slipping and sliding around to catch their next tee time.

    Font - At least Mrs. Schaffer was fair...Dad passed the test and kept his scholarship. To this day...those holes are still in the wooden floors. Edit: Words and added context.

    Font - Imconfusedithink. My high school found out which day the seniors planned for senior skip day so they made it so anyone who missed school on that day needed a doctor's note. Everyone just went on a different day. 2.8k Reply Share

    Font - apbear At my school, senior skip day and the senior prank get approved by admin. I think there was one year where the seniors didn't get their day approved and were told to pick a different one, so they just skipped both days 311 Reply Share
