SICK of school already? Fancy a skive? The coronavirus guidelines are your best friend. Here’s how to turn a pandemic to your advantage:
Cough or sneeze literally anywhere
Before coronavirus, faking illness meant a pathetic attempt at a croaky voice and trying to raise your temperature by thinking hard. Now cough once while walking to the art room and you’re off school for two lovely weeks. And once your classmates spot the trick, so are they.
Be late to all lessons
Social distancing means schools have introduced a one-way system to move pupils around, which like any town centre one-way system doesn’t work. Claim you got swept up in Year 12’s flow and ended up in Geography GCSE, even though you were actually smoking a bifter behind the drama block.
Scare younger kids on the bus
Bullying younger pupils was always a pleasure, but now you can threaten them with actual death it’s reached new heights. Take off your mask and breathe directly into their faces to create the fullest freak out possible.
Get out of PE
The most dreaded school sports, like rugby and netball, are already out because of Covid. But you can refuse any PE by claiming the hygiene of the changing rooms is compromised. No teacher will going to volunteer to clean them, after all.
Talk back behind your mask
Been told off again for being an annoying little shit? Feel better by mouthing at the teacher that he’s a ‘salty old dickbag wankmonger’ behind your mask. He’ll never know.
