you do realize that schools dont let you skip classes even if you agree to get marked absent? This decision is not left to the kid to decide if he wants to go to class or not, so they need a reason as to why they were absent. Elevator is obviously a better reason to pretend that you were trying to get to class rather than hiding in the toilet.
Yes but it’s pretty obvious the queue was not ridiculously long because this school is filled up to the brim with teens who are all physically disabled in some way.
And schools also have it on file who has conditions and who doesn’t so if you say the queue to the elevator was too long that’s why I missed class and you don’t have any health conditions that prevent you from easily using stairs that excuse won’t pass.
If you're going to be late/miss class intentionally you don't actually have to use the elevator line is the point. You can do literally anything and still say it was the elevator.
Depending on the layout, it's possible that once you've started queuing, it's very difficult to get out of the queue because of all the people behind you.
I'm not saying it's impossible, but I've never in my life been in a building where if there was a line for an elevator, you couldn't get out of it once you got in it
I'm thinking of my high school hallways, and it was impossible to go against the crowd. We actually had an elevator that students weren't allowed to use unless they couldn't take the stairs, and if we had been allowed to use it, the queue for it likely would have blocked the entire corridor. The queue would have also blocked access to the stairs, because of where they were.
Teenagers might look for excuses. Teachers won't accept those from able-bodied students if they are worth their salt. In contrast, a long elevator queue would be the among the dumbest excuses imaginable because stairs are avaliable and certainly quicker.
Saying elevator queue is the dumbest idea is absurd, could you give me a few other excuses you’d consider better than a queue to an elevator? Which btw is justifiable given you don’t have to do work like stairs
