    How do you deal with doctor notes?

    Ok so i got this little problem ... im only able to miss 20 % of my total number of classes per month , and i was at the border(meaning 20%) before today ... but because of this weekend when my brother stayed over since thursday and things got a little crazy ... i went to sleep at 4 am last night (i have a sleeping problem and on top i hate to sleep)... so my scholl says it wont accept doctors notes if its something less than 4-5 days of abscence ...

    i have this paper from my hospital ... it was supposed to be an appointment (sort of) for x-rays for my hand but i never went , so i was thinking that maybe i could put in a date (wich i can .... the space is blank) and tell them a story ...btw i have an exam tomorrow morning that i can take back only once ... but with doctor notes i got 2 chances .

    if i dont show this im expelled from the school and ill have wasted a 6 months .

    so i want to know ASAP please ...

    if

    -Do schools check with hospitals if you missed classes ... not HS or college just adult school ?
    -What should i tell them ... i dont have to give a story just the paper but what should i say about it ?
    -What do you think ? will it work ?

    Im thinking of staying home till thursday ... because to them 1-2 days doctors note doesnt cut it as "abscence material" ... so if i miss one day theyll think i checked with my doctor for a simple cough or something . The paper says x-rays for right hand (my writting hand) ... so ill say i had broken it before (true) and i have the scars to prove it ... something heavy fell on it and i couldnt write so they gave me an x-ray .... i had to wait a couple of days because of line up (canada hospitals ... priority always) and they gave me something to put back the swelling but it made me drowsy so i coulnt go to school . What im mostly worried about is that if theyll call and check if i really went to take x-rays and shit .

    Help LF ppl ...

    i wasnt planning on missing today but seriously ... damn im pissed at myself .

    Sounds like me, I've become increasingly lazy over these past months and I have what my teachers call "wasted potential" and always finding an excuse to "catch up on work". I'm only speculating here, but I doubt HS check doctor notes with hospitals, I think they just need some sort of evidence that the absence was valid.

    no no ... NOT HS .... NO high school

    do you think an appointment paper made by a doctor counts as a note somehow?

    its a paper saying what i have and when to make an appointment for x-rays , what kind of story can i tell them ?

    Of course it does. Hell I'm using one today about surgery I had last week to move my Italian oral to later on in the day.

    That WAS what I was refering to.

    It would be more safe to have it dated.
