I'm a (hopefully) great student and have never skipped class, but I've just learned that my 5th period teacher won't let us see the eclipse on April 8th. Our classroom has no windows, we're in the middle of the school, and I'll have class during totality! I told him I have 'those special glasses,' but he doesn't care.

So I thought "screw him, I'm planning on just skipping the class entirely." Do you think it's right for me to skip to see the moon passing in front of the sun? People have skipped for stupider things.
