[DS is a "rule follower" at school, so I'd be surprised if he escalated. Were you the type to explain why you left and went home?[/quote]
In elementary school I spent a considerable amount of time in the library without my class. I also remember pretending to fall asleep so that I could stay inside while my class went to recess. In elementary school I thought my classmates viewed me as the "teacher's pet". I never thought I was particularly bright.
In middle school I left class when a history teacher called a boy a "f***ot" for wearing a pink shirt. I told the teacher I wouldn't return to class until he apologized. I wandered the halls and then wrote a letter explaining why the teacher's behavior offended me. I don't remember getting in trouble for leaving class. This wasn�t the first time that I'd wandered the halls. In high school I started ditching for longer stretches. Two weeks was my longest unexcused absence.
