Possibly to make more money, by selling drugs to the other students.

yeah that would be my guess. i think they were there to make connections and help with the loading/unloading of the drugs that was stashed in the school.

then why attend 1 class just to take a bunch of crap that teacher
then haul but off the school grounds and drug charges on school grounds are doubled

Charges are doubled on school grounds, but you have a much higher supply of customers and a teenager doesn't look out of place in a high school -- but he DOES look suspicious outside of school during the day.

Why not? These days just showing up is enough to get a diploma...

For those of you that watched the movie. You probably know that the Principal was also in on it and he was in charge of the drup operations. So he made them go to school.

It seems pretty obvious. The best way to interact with other students, who are likely your primary customers, is to attend classes with them. Where do you think all that "mad money" comes from? It comes from the other students.

Plus, if they attend classes, it throws less suspicion on them from a legal standpoint. A teenager dealing on the streets during school hours is a lot more conspicuous than a teenager dealing within the school walls.
