Some kids will fake cough , stomach ache or what not.
So what are other tricks you know ?

I enjoyed school, especially High School, but I never faked illness or anything to stay out, if I were not in the mood for school, I’d call my friends and tell them “aaj school say goli marni hai”, and we’d just bunk school. :aliyish:
Re: Things you did/do to avoid going to school.
i used to put my head near the heater so it gets warm and then go running to my mum and pretend to be ill:D

Re: Things you did/do to avoid going to school.
I never ever faked illness, If I didnt want to go school I would just tell my mum I m not in mood and I would just NOT go no matter what my parents do to me, No one in the world wouldve convinced me whatsoever 
I was one of the most spoiled and stubborn child in the family
