hacer(se) la rata, ratearse. Llevar a un ratero de vuelta a clases.


Explanation:
Mi versión es para la Argentina. Hacerse la rabona también vale, pero es más anticuado. No sé cómo dicen en Mexico, a ver si alguien aporta algo =)
En realidad "slacker" es un vago, un haragán, no se refiere necesariamente a quien faltó al colegio. Deduzco que en este caso lo define el contexto.
