A: Why did I put this picture up on here? It's because Ferris Bueller's day off consists of his scamming his parents and teachers and going on a joy ride in his dad's vintage car...all the while skipping classes.
While the Bible does not specifically state that skipping school is a sin, I think it's important to note that Jesus Himself was diligent in studying the Scriptures. He took His education very seriously. So much so that He traveled around to not only preach, but teach the people. His 12 Disciples did not just follow Him around, but they took it as a learning experience to listen to what their Rabbi had to say and gain wisdom through Jesus' teachings.
There are also passages in the Bible that support the civil authorities in our midst. Your teachers and principle are considered such authority. In Romans 13:1, it says, "Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God." Which means that as they set rules that govern our attendance in classes, we should follow them.
Now, of course there are special circumstances that would cause us to break these rules. Illness, the occasional vacation...all of these could cause us to miss some classes and skip school. But for the most part, I believe we need to treasure our education and know that for most of the world, education is a luxury.
