Answer 1

i have a retainer, and i just recently only had to wear it at night, but when i was soposed to where it all day i would wear until lunch then take it out and put it back in like 2 hours later after school and then i didnt have to brush my teeth in the middle of school because thats embarassing. because you wearing your retainer as much as possible but you not looking dumb doing it.

Answer 2

no just because its school doesnt mean u could take it off for 7 or 8 hours! then the retainer wont keep ur teeth in place! so no. its just like throwing money in the school garbage. if not they will not work well unles its for lunch or something eating or sport thing then u can.

Answer 3

Ideally, you wear your retainer around the clock for the first year or two... then at night.

If you don't want to wear it to school, don't... you'd have to remove it for lunch and risk losing it (they're not cheap to replace either).  But if you put in right after school and then didn't remove it until the next morning, that's still a good amount of time.  And if your teeth try to move any, the retainer will stop it.
