Column: Skipping Class Is Privilege

Skipping class is a privilege and a choice, but now it can become determined by an equation. The website SkipClassCalculator is designed to help students determine whether or not they should skip class. The website has a series of questions people are supposed to answer and submit, and the website will say whether or not skipping class is a good idea.  While the website is slightly comical — one response tells people not to even bother putting on pants because the class is just not worth attending - it also is encouraging students to waste their money. Let’s be honest, skipping class is one of the perks of paying for it: If you don’t want to go, you don’t have to. It is a choice students are faced with everyday, and it’s a choice they should make on their own. But does that mean it is a good choice not to go?/ Elizabeth Rudd , UIdaho Argonaut. More here .
