How to Get Away with Doing Nothing in Class
How to Get Away with Doing Nothing in Class
Neglecting to pay attention in class every time is a bad idea; it's not hard to take some notes, pass tests and do well. However, sometimes there are times when you know you're not going to be able to work; you just had a massive argument, there are issues on your mind, etc. How can you get through the entire class with alternate things on your mind, and not let anyone realize you're not really working? Relax, because it's simple...
Steps

Pick a middle or back row seat. Try to pick somewhere that you don't think is noticeable; definitely not the front or near a teachers desk.If you can bury yourself away in a corner or bunched in the middle, you're less likely to be sharply observed by teachers. However, try not to sit with your friends, teachers might observe because they're suspicious.

Take out your notebook and turn it to a page that has already been written in. Don't think you can just put your feet up and begin daydreaming; take your things out, open your book to a new page and have a pen/calculator/whatever is required for the lesson. This way the teacher will think you're organized and working.

At the beginning of class, try to answer (or ask) a question. This will give the impression that you actually know what's going on, and are concentrating.

Cover your tracks; scribble down some hasty notes, start the first step of work - and then leave it. This way, if your teacher happens to walk past, they won't just see a bunch of doodles or blank pages, but work.

Don't forget to doodle! Teachers seem to think that you are taking notes if they see you writing. If you are in a back or middle row, then they will not see what you are really doing.

If you tilt your head down and hold your hand over your eyebrows, you can close your eyes and zone out. Make sure you have a book in front of you. From the teachers point of view, it will look like you're reading.

If you want to play your handheld video game or text on your cell phone, put your binder, textbook, notebook, or reading book in your lap. It'll look like you're actually reading, when you're texting or playing!

What's your reaction?
