Your position

You believe schools should not excuse students' absences to go to climate protests.

What you wrote:

Because school is important for one thing, and the only thing that I think should be excusable is a doctor appointment or if someone is sick. A protest isn't really a good thing in my opinion for the most part and for the reason, climate , no, not worth missing school to do something like that.
