Did You Ever Miss a First Day of a School?

[annadote]

One year in college I didn't have any classes on the actual first day of classes. But that doesn't really count I guess. Other than that I almost forgot that I had class one day. Again that probably doesn't count.

I did when I was a teenager because the weather made us late from getting back from our summer vacation.

I don't remember but I probably didn't.

[surveygrabber]

I may have but don't remember. If I did, I would be at home when I'm sick.

[nannycoe1]

Not that I recall

[rob110]

Never missed the first day, maybe a few others.

[judylucas]

I don't think so but school days were many years ago

[alice44]

Not that I remember, and my own children never did either.  It is certainly an important day to get the school year off to a good start.

[mgint]

yes in college but that was a long time ago over 30 years.

[mamatygress]

Nope.  Missed an average of 30 days throughout each year, though.

[joywalk637]

Yes I have missed the first day of school multiple times.

I am 77 years old and I can remember my first day of school.  I cried just about all day.  I had never been away from my Mother before.  But when I got use to it, I loved school.  I joined the band in school and played the clarinet in for 6 years.  Those were the happyest days for me.  I still have my clarinet but I don't play it anymore.  Have a good week.

No, not that I am aware of; my family generally was  pretty good with following the school's calendar.

As far as I can remember I never missed the first day of school and my children have never missed the first day of school and my grandkids have never miss a first day of School.  To God be the glory!
