Article: How does your school record absences? Do they call attendance in each class? If you have a teacher who regularly forgets to record attendance, you'll have an easier time skipping their class than a class where the teacher has meticulous records. Depending on the number of absences you've already accumulated, your school might not even care if you skip. If you're a known skipper with many absences already stacked against you, proceed with caution. Decide which class or classes you'll be skipping. Plan where you will go to hide out. If you have access to hall passes, stock up on a few of these, as they may come in handy when wandering the halls. Note where the cameras are in your school. If possible, avoid walking past them when you are supposed to be in class. Do not skip classes where you have significant tests or projects due, as this only increases your chances of getting caught. If you're skipping class to avoid having to turn in a project or take a test, you might be better off faking sick and not going to school at all. For tips on faking sick, check out this article. In the event that everything goes awry, you'll need a credible excuse to fall back on. It doesn't matter what your excuse is, as long as it's believable and you're committed to the lie. If you're a bad liar, keep the excuse as simple as possible. The best lies have elements of truth in them, so include truthful specifics in your falsehoods to make them easier to swallow. Don't use the dead relative excuse or the family emergency excuse, those excuses should be hinted weeks in advance, if you are planning your skip later. You could say that you were looking for something you lost if you absolutely need an excuse. If asked what you lost, say a key or a flash drive.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Learn the system. Hatch a plan. Prepare an excuse.
Article: Put the medication and tissue paper or paper towels within arms reach. Remove the cap from the medication. Most come with a long narrow nozzle that you can place on the medication container. Be sure to place this on the open end before proceeding. The medication tube or bottle should have directions that will tell you how much to apply, how often to apply it, and when to use the medication. If in doubt, contact your veterinarian for clearer instructions. There are a variety of medicines for dog's ears and they usually come in a liquid or an ointment form. Antibiotics for ear infections, for example, come in both liquid and ointment forms. Treatments for ear mites, on the other hand, usually come in liquid form. Your veterinarian may also prescribe a veterinary ear cleaning wash. This will help clean out wax and debris from the ear, making your dog's ears healthier and allowing medication to absorb more easily. Have a helper that can help you hold the dog steady. This will make your job easier and it help the dog avoid injuring itself. If the dog is in pain or doesn't want its ears touched you may need to muzzle him or her. This will keep you safe and sometimes diverts the dog's attention enough that you will be able to put the medication in its ears. Placing a leash on the dog can also help you maintain control over a dog that does not want its ears messed with. Have your helper place one arm under the dog's head so its neck rests on the helpers elbow bend. Have the helper put his or her other hand around the dog's body, holding it steady. If a helper isn't available have the dog lay down. You will need to hold it steady while applying the medication. Place one arm gently across the neck and under the chin of the dog, and use the hand of that arm to hold the lower front leg. Place the other elbow on top of the dog, pinning its upper front leg to its body.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Gather supplies before holding the dog in place. Read the directions on the medicine. Find a helper. Hold the dog steady.
