At my school (London, England) we werent allowed on the school grounds once we had left after the final bell had rung, they were really annoying about it. I remember leaving some artwork in school once, that I needed for the next days assessment & they wouldn't let me get it, I was fuming.
Did Faith go to Sunnydale High?

I thought Giles had a key?
What I always wondered was why the janitor was never like, "Dude: clear out so I can mop!"

Some-one should have let on about it being easy to get into schools in America.
That guy right at the start of the series had to break a window to get in, maybe, just maybe Darla was part of the school's security program yet the punishment may have been a bit extreme.

Haha! Funny.
Schools are really easy to get in and out of - if you've got a reason to be there. Heck, if a janitor knows you, you can get in. Including security, custodial, and maintenance staff, workers arrive at like 6am and leave at like midnight. Only a vampire would have to break a window because only a vampire would be trying to get into a school in the wee hours of the morning... or a senior performing a senior prank, I guess.

NOpe...FAith didnt attend Sunnydale high. Less we forget she came to Sunnydale to get away from Kakistos!!!
I think she just hung around because everyone else basically spent all their time at school.

No, no. I'm saying STAFF are about (on different shifts, of course) from about 6am (faculty, primary support staff, etc) to about midnight (custodial and maintenance start their work at 3pm or 4pm or so). So because someone is usually there to let you in, you shouldn't need to break a window to get in unless you're there (for some strange reason) roughly between midnight and 6am. Make sense?
Oh ok I getcha now...It would still never happen here, well unless you go to private school

I went to a private school once, but they wouldn't let me in!

I dunno...it seems perfectly feasible to me that Faith would be able to hang out at school, even while it was in session. If you have a faculty member on your side [i.e. Giles] then you can pretty much do anything you want.
I would imagine it would be easy for Giles to get Faith into the school without anyone seeing her; but in the eventuality that another staff member caught her, they could just as easily make up some excuse for why she was there. Granted, she'd probably have to leave and then find another way in, but it can be done. She'd probably just say she's Buffy's family or something like that.
I don't think Giles had a key...did he? I mean, he had a key to the library and all the other things the library implies, but to the whole school? That would either be really lax on the administrations part or Giles is a key-stealing ninja...which actually kind of makes sense, when you look at it that way.

What, Giles a ninja ? what a horrible thought....but wait !.
If Giles is some type of Ninja, then one of his ancestors may have been related to the slayer that Spike off'd in the Boxer rebellion, that may explain why Giles didn't like Spike
( apart from Spike wanting to kill, root and generally have fun with Buffy )

You all have valid points to the fact that Faith didn't attend Sunnydale High, and I still don't believe so but... Didn't Faith say in the episode 'Bad girls' "How about, you do the homework, and I'll copy yours?" if Faith wasn't going to High school, why would homework matter or why would she mention it?

Spiley anyone?!
SHe was being sarcastic. When Faith compares herself to BUffy, she makes herself the less good girl. Thats just how she is around BUffy.

Oh Plerr
I haven't seen the episode in forever but wasn't she talking about slayer homework? Didn't Wesley used to give them assignments and stuff?

She could've been. I think I remember Buffy saying "what about the homework?" so I'm just assuming it was school homework... That I know of, Wesley never gave them theory to work on.
doppelgänger2
Meh.
I think she's definitely talking about slayer homework. Faith talks in tropes all the damn time. Plus, if Faith was actually attending Sunny D High, they'd sure as hell make it into some kind of plot device.
Wesley didn't give them books to read or anything, but he did give them a bunch of small missions to complete all the time.

It was definitely Slayer-related homework, not anything to do with Sunnydale High.
Wesley: Buffy, you will go to the Gleaves family crypt tonight and fetch the amulet.
Buffy: I will?
Wesley: Are you not used to being given orders?
later...
Buffy: Faith, wait. Look, I know this new guy's a dork, but...
Well, I have nothing to follow that. He's pretty much just a dork.
Faith: You're actually gonna take orders from him?
etc, etc... conversation about Slaying and how awesome is it...
Buffy: What about the assignment?
Faith: Tell you what: you do the homework, and I'll copy yours.
She's (Faith) saying it like you would if you were talking about "school work" but she's really talking about the little mission that Wes has sent them on.
