When I was in high school, if you had 5 or more unexcused abscences you lost all credit for that semester. Kind of insance if you ask me, but that is how it went. Granted, the smart kids could probably miss 5 or more days and still pass. Problem was with the kids that were struggling and those were the ones that usually wanted to skip class. My brother tried out the system once and lost all of his credits for the semester. That was a fun ordeal. Back then, the school had a computer program that would call parents to let them know their kid wasn't in school.
