In my school you can only miss like 10 days a year otherwise the teachers can start taking points off your grade. This rarely happens because most of the teachers don' t care if you take more than that off as long as you regularly don' t do that for no purpose. Usually my mom only allows about 3 or 4 days off for hunting season but sense opening of gun season is on a weekend I don' t get any off for that and I only get 1 day off for opening of bow[:@] My mom doesn' t want me to go over that limit even though the teachers wouldn' t mark me down if I did because they just do that to the slackers and I have a solid A in every class. I think if I got worse grades not only would I not be able to take days of for hunting, but I wouldn' t even be able to hunt. My mom would probably make me get a tutor or something. So hunting really doesn' t motavate me to do well in school I would do well anyways because I want to make a really good living when i' m older.
