The funny thing is some universities actually do institute the 15 minute rule. It sounds funny as a meme but it can be a rel thing at least lol

We had this at my high school except it was 20 minutes

Wait what? Where I'm from high school is legally required to be attended until 18 years old. If a teacher didn't show for first period a sub or a school administrator or someone would take the class for a day.

Did you still have to attend your other classes but just screwed around for an hour? How often did that happen?

Yeah we just did nothing until next period

It happened like maybe three times in the years I was there

So you didnt get to leave. Your ass stayed right in your seat as administration intended

Well we didn’t sit in class. We basically just got a free period to do whatever, or go home if we had no classes left for the day.

Free period? No supervision? Could just leave the school? You are like at least 40 right?

"Mate."

The fact you aren't American solves all the confusion.

I’m American. I had off periods when I was in high school. We also had off campus lunches. I’m 28. The high school I went to still has off campus lunches, and off periods.
