    Yes. Because school admins and teachers regularly compare signatures of documents with other previously signed documents.

    Hey funny story related to this. My father died when i was six. (Not the funny part). In high school i started signing early dismissal letters with my own name and the school never questioned it.

      Possibly, they noticed and were good enough people that realized it’s not the end of the world.

      Wish I thought about that before I learned dark necromancy to reanimate my father’s corpse so he could sign my field trip forms.

    I definitely did this throughout high school. My dad once asked why they don’t do report cards anymore. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    In our house, the policy was I (mom) used my real signature, kids forged their dad’s signature when needed. So, my signature was mine but his signature was always forged.

    Because teachers can’t tell a first grader’s attempt at a signature from an adult’s.

      This says high school, but honestly probably not as long as they don’t try too hard. My signiture is some squiggles with a line and dot thrown in. A first grader might actually try though, then it could be suspicious.
