It is ok to stay away from school. We call it day school. Go home every night and come back the next day. {You can also go home at noon}
In fact, I don't recommend day school, because I am a big boy. Cultivate my self-reliance and prepare for college ~
PS: If the home is far away, day school is also an exploitation of parents ~
I'm in Grade 63, so I'll be a senior in high school on holiday ~
