Due to The Law of Conservation of Detail, it's not surprising that most stories that take place in a school setting, or have school-aged characters as the main characters, wouldn't focus too much on the studying and taking-tests side of things. There are more interesting things to show than that, after all, and Alice and Bob having to buckle down and practice for their midterms would severely wreck their abilities to prevent Dr. Demonface from Taking Over The World. Sometimes, though, there's a real lack of logic to it. In Real Life, most kids in school focus much more on their studies than petty campus drama, but it's the exact opposite in "realistic" series like Degrassi or Glee. In less realistic, more fantastic series (like Haruhi Suzumiya), not even the Ordinary High School Students seem to care about tests and exams. This is especially egregious in High School series, where the importance of good grades and stable GPAs are at an all-time high. It can be a Justified Trope since the amount of time spent in school with lessons not occurring in one school day can cover the runtime of even a one-hour episode; lunch alone can equal that of a half-hour one and many school-set shows take place over several days per episode. Related tropes are Shouldn't We Be in School Right Now? and One-Hour Work Week. Non-academic examples fall under The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything. This often overlaps with Two-Teacher School - introducing a distinct character for each class the kids are taking is superfluous if the kids are almost never actually in class. |

Neither Yuuichi nor Nayuki in Kanon worry about their grades, and seem to spend most of their time in class either sleeping, having conversations with each other, or lamenting how boring the class is. While the other main characters in the series have an excuse (Makoto is actually a fox, and thus doesn't even go to school, Mai is a demon hunter, etc.), neither Nayuki or Yuuichi have such an excuse. | |

X-Men: Applies to the Xavier Institute and its many, many students over the years, who usually spend their time on adventures, romantic issues, and just generally trying to avoid dying horribly. Slightly justified since the school started as a front to let Mutants get a handle on their powers, but then they became an actual school. | |

Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon, while having a school and some studying, was underdeveloped in the usual school themes; from having no worries about failing a grade (because there weren't simply any to specifically study for), to a tremendous lack of elaboration on the other nameless students attending classrooms that are never seen. Rather jarringly, the next series has Ash's two friends enrolled in a regular school, with Goh specifically still being forced to occasionally visit the school for the sole purpose of taking tests and being free to carry out his duties with the Cerise Institute otherwise. | |

In Girls und Panzer, students on the Tankery team are given up to 200 tardiness passes as incentives to participate in tankery. Mako Reizei, who's chronically tardy, needs every single one in order to avoid being held back. On a broader level, after Episode 1, no one is ever seen in class. | |

A.P. Bio is about a disgruntled, terminated philosophy professor from Harvard who becomes an AP Biology teacher at a high school in Toledo, Ohio who refuses to teach his students any biology and strictly enforces a rule of them not learning any biology whatsoever. His principal is too much of a coward to take action against this, and as the series progresses it becomes more clear that the principal himself cares way more about his and the school's reputation so that he keeps getting more ribbons, accolades and funding rather than the future of his students. | |

While the main characters of Euphoria attend classes in almost every single episode of the first season, close to none of their time is spent doing or acknowledging any kind of schoolwork and instead furthering the drama in each others' lives. Many of the scenes that take place within the school, even some of the choices in outfits and music during the Winter Formal makes the lack of presence in teachers or administrators quite evident. | |

High School Debut, as the title suggests, has much of its action take place in high school, and Haruna's initial concern is all about making a fresh start among her high school peers. She's never seen even thinking about school work, and her romantic interest only briefly wonders about what he should study in college. The only official school events that even get brought up are a ceremony to welcome incoming freshmen, a school athletic festival, and a graduation speech. | |

Most Community characters worry more about campus life than their actual classes. In fact, the series features more and more episodes taking place off campus in Season 2 and beyond. Ironically, the reason the main cast came together in the first place was to form a study group. In season 6, Frankie attempts to "pitch" a seventh season of the show in which they actually learn about science and history, with a little Toilet Humor thrown in for flavor. Everyone shuts her down, showing the importance of the trope for making the show interesting. | |

RWBY's Beacon Academy double subverts this trope. While the first couple of episodes after the group officially enter the Academy are based around classes and studying, it slowly begins to distance away from them until the third volume's turning point where the school is invaded by Grimm, forcing the students to leave, dropping the school-focused plot entirely. Justified for Haven Academy and Atlas Academy, as the group arrives there during summer break in the former and Ironwood officially declares them certified Huntsmen to not necessitate the education in the latter. | |

Double Homework contains a deconstruction of sorts. It’s unclear whether the protagonist’s original summer school class gives out homework at all, nor are exams mentioned. But with the real summer school class, he explicitly does need to study for an end-of-term exam once he enrolls in this program, and he is definitely out of the habit of doing so. | |

Nearly all of the focus in Food Wars! is on cooking competitions despite the series taking place at a prestigious culinary school. There were some scenes set in classes early on with the students depicted studying (or trying to study), but they were eventually dropped, with downtime set instead at the dorms. It's as if the main method of learning new material at Totsuki is through self-studying and through challenging each other to cook-offs. Mimisaki is seen as offputting and weird for improving his cooking skills by observing people better than he is and learning how they do things, despite this being something every student ought to do at a culinary school. (Granted, his habits of stalking them, tapping their phones, searching their bedrooms while they're out, and dressing up as them to study their personalities can be disturbing even in context, especially juxtaposed with his Face of a Thug.) The most salient instance of this trope is that we aren't seeing any real trace of the non-cooking classes which presumably are there to get the high-school aged students their high school diplomas. We at least hear references to things students remember from cooking classes; de-emphasized because the narrative focus is usually on students whose backgrounds meant they already had semiprofessional skills upon entry. |

Depending on your play style, the main character of Tokimeki Memorial may or may not spend a lot of time studying. However, even if you spend every single day at the library, the only characters who'll show up to study with you are the "studious" types; there's no randomly bumping into one of your other classmates (outside of one-time scripted events). | |

The Swellview Academy for the Gifted in Danger Force is just a made up school used to teach the young teenaged members of Danger Force to use their powers to fight crime. Apart from that, they aren't learning anything else. This actually was a plot point in "Ray Goes Cray" when they were given two other students as the other gifted schools were filled up. | |

Downplayed in ''Persona5. For the most part, the protagonist just goes to school and the game cuts to them after school (even when plot happens, it will usually interrupt the class or happen in between classes), but occasionally there will be certain days where teachers will quiz the protagonist and prompt the player to answer. There's even parts of the game where the player has to do exams. | |

After the first two or three films, the Harry Potter films rarely contain any scenes in classes or studying for them unless they directly affect the main plot. Dumbledore mentions all exams being cancelled near the end of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, and final exams and essays are rarely if ever mentioned thereafter. An exception is during the OWLs (that's Ordinary Wizarding Level exams to the Muggle) — naturally these receive some mention, being the most important exam that every witch and wizard must complete at Hogwarts. | |

A rather understandable example in Sleepless Domain: many of the main characters also double as Magical Girls, and after the plot is kickstarted by the deaths of three of them, focus is mainly on the Magical Girl side of their lives. It is made clear that they still attend school daily (yes, even weekends), in fact it's made compulsory by those attending Future's Promise in order for the authorities to keep tabs on them to make sure none go missing like Cassidy, but seeing them studying is rather downplayed. | |

Downplayed in Kaguya-sama: Love Is War. Shuchi'in is an academically-focused school, studying is mentioned multiple times, and there are entire chapters devoted to end of semester exams, but the closest the series ever gets to showing the characters in class are a drawing session in art and cooking in home economics (the latter of which isn't actually shown). Given how the manga developed the most likely explanation is that the author didn't want to develop many characters at once and thus had early on decided to split the grades and homerooms up for the primary cast so they'd be forced to interact primarily within the student council. The art class, an elective, was explicitly set up to allow characters in a "class setting" who wouldn't have normally been seen together in one, and came after the author knew what to do with them (such as what should happen when Hayasaka, Fujiwara, and Kaguya are all together in the same classroom). However, Aka did confirm that the cast does keep up with schoolwork and their Student Council duties, but he keeps all of that offscreen since nobody actually wants to see them do their job as opposed to their various personal dilemmas. | |

Patito Feo is a huge example. Most of the action takes place in high school, and most scenes are at break time. The school is in an inter-school tournament of singing bands, so there are many scenes involving the music class, but other than that, we never see an actual classroom, a chalkboard, books, or studying.

In full force in My Little Pony: Equestria Girls. The girls focus more on the upcoming competitions (popularity contest in the first movie, battle of the bands in the second, intra-school competition with Crystal Prep in the third) than actual schoolwork. Even away from the movie plots, they tend to be doing club- or interest-related activities rather than general study or being in a classroom. In general, this serves the purpose of more plausibly inserting outsiders among the student body and saves writer effort translating ponies to human analogues. | |

This seems to be the case in Danganronpa 3, as the students of Hope's Peak Academy's main course don't have to attend classes, instead being given the opportunity to work on their talents. Even when Yukizome gathers the students of class 77-B and forces them to attend, it's for the sake of having them socialize with each other rather than having them actually study. Justified in that the school isn't really about teaching the kids, but instead having them hone their talents. The school is studying the students, not the other way around. | |

The Danganronpa series. Two of the main installments, Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc and Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony, take place in a school. But while the characters are high school students and there are classrooms in Hope's Peak Academy and the Ultimate Academy respectively, nobody ever attends class, nor do the "teachers" (Monokuma, etc.) try teaching them anything. Justified since the masterminds of the various Killing Games obviously don't give a crap about the students' education and just want to watch them kill each other. But even in Side:Despair (as described in the Anime & Manga section) and the games' various bonus modes when there are no Killing Games going on, the Ultimate Students seem to do little, if any, actual schoolwork and mainly participate in social activities with their teacher and classmates. Side:Despair even establishes that the students are allowed to skip class so long as they do other things that benefit their talents. Downplayed with Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair, which takes place on a school trip and not in an actual school. | |

Lampshaded in Monster Prom - though it's technically set in a school (it's drawn like a high school but all the characters are 18 or over and the culture seems more like college), very little in the game references studying. Every day each character can go to a room to gain stats, and one of them is a classroom, but it's totally possible to go the entire game without ever going to class. If you do go, the game pokes fun at the trope by mentioning that outside of all of this prom craziness, you almost forgot that the main purpose of a school is to study. | |

The Most Popular Girls in School: The series takes place mostly in a high school, but the focus is pretty much entirely on football, cheerleading, and school events. Characters are only ever shown in class once, and the only school staff member with any screentime to speak of is a lunch lady. | |

Timmy Turner in The Fairly OddParents! spends much more time at school than most of his cartoon comrades, yet almost never even thinks about his grades and is just a straight-F student. | |

Undergrads is exactly like this. The characters are in every social event on the campus, but they never appear studying on-screen. All of the action happens between classes and free time, and it's never revealed what they're even studying. | |

The Misaki Academy in Twinkle Saber Nova has very liberal student conduct requirements, which do not seem to include studying. Therefore, the students spend most of their time participating in various club activities. | |

Downplayed in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. While the academy's lessons and tests take a backseat to the overall story, they can be taken if you want as you go along the Victory Road path. This will let you brush up on game mechanics and learn Paldea's history. | |

Averted in Ed, Edd n Eddy, once the characters start going to school in the fifth season. Despite the lack of onscreen appearances by other students or even faculty (due to the show's Minimalist Cast), the show still has characters attend classes and acknowledge things like studying, grades, and homework. Eddy is always scheming to skip high school, as he thinks he can make a living off simply scamming kids for quarters (when really his scams usually fail). Edd on the other hand would be admiring school if they didn't impose P.E. on him. | |

Nina Tanleven: Subverted in The Ghost in the Big Brass Bed - this marks the first book where Nine's adventures conflict with school (the previous two books took place over the summer), and while her time there is mostly off-screen, her focus on the mystery at Phoebe Watson's home leads to her being distracted and unwittingly neglecting her schoolwork, even while she's actually in class, and getting in trouble with her teacher for it. | |

Despite Beverly Hills, 90210 revolving around high school juniors and seniors (in a school that's supposed to be academically rigorous and hard to get into, no less), surprisingly little time is devoted to characters doing schoolwork. Most episodes focus on the characters' relationships and extracurricular activities, rather than their studies. Occasionally subverted, as with the episode about the characters' SAT scores. | |

Nevermore Academy in Wednesday seems to exist solely for various student societies and Wednesday's mystery hunting. Aside from a couple of extra-curricular outings, two brief classroom scenes and a line about homework, there's next to no schooling of any sort going on. | |

In Yuri is My Job!, most of the story takes place in the Liebe Girls' Academy Salon, where the main characters work part-time, so very little time is spent on class and even less is spent on studying or homework. | |

Mahabharata: In the 1988 television adaptation of the original epic, King Dhritharashtra sends the sons of his brother Pandu along with his own sons to Kripacharya’s school to begin their education. However, he secretly wants to curtail his nephews’ education lest they know more than his own sons and thereby usurp the kingdom. He therefore keeps calling Kripacharya to his palace for all sorts of nonsensical reasons, leaving his sons and nephews completely unsupervised in school. The boys naturally just eat, sleep and play all day long. | |
