I have my mom schedule my major orthodontic (braces) appointments on days with games coming out. Shes perfectly fine with this because either way i stay home due to the pain it causes me (I'm talking about getting surgery, so back off!) so just schedule major stuff like that on those days; or if still have to go back to school after the appointment, just have your parent/guardian swing by gamestop/bestbuy/walmart on your way back to school and keep the game in your backpack until you get home. Hope this helps, its legal cause i get an excused absence and i get to play my games! I've done this like 4 times no issues so far so have fun! i'll be chillin' 8)
