staying under the radar 

In a classroom setting- Making as little eye contact with the teacher or professor so you won't get called on.

In everyday life- Doing what you want all the way until you reach the level that you know you will get caught ridin dirty.

Classroom- I am staying under the radar not making eye contact in Contracts class, because I haven't done the reading for like a whole week!

Everyday life- Yesterday I made sure I was staying under the radar avoiding the boss's wrath at work by actually doing something besides sending e-mails and texting until my boss left for the day.
