[QUOTE="Andy, post: 434187, member: 5096"] Next year make the policy in your home that the school gets to decide if he stays home or not. He can go to school and report to the nurse's office to list his ailments. If the nurse believes he should go home than fine, he can go home. If not, she will most likely tell him to go into the "resting" room to rest for awhile or send him to class (most likely) with the advise that he can do this. Unless my kids have a temperature or I can see they are truly in agony (flu like stuff or migrane headache) than I tell them they have to go to school and let the school decide. I know - easier said than done. Sometimes the beginning of the school year is easier to start new things. "Now that you are in _____th grade or are _______ years old, the rules are: _____________________." I know all too well that you can not physically make a kid get to school. I have been sooo grateful that difficult child has gone along with the let the school decide although he has fought it very hard a few times making some very ugly mornings. When Diva was about 10 years old, I also had trouble with her. She was starting to disrespect me big time and not wanting to go to school. She begged that I didn't tell her teachers what was going on at home. We were at a very small private school so I told her that if SHE decided not to go to school then SHE would have to call her teacher and tell him why she wasn't coming. She decided that she would rather go to school then let the teacher know what was going on. (Of course, she never knew that he did know what was going on since I did let the school know our situation so that they could help her without her knowing) Sorry I am not much help :( When the above doesn't work than I would be at a total loss. Too bad the officer couldn't have stopped by just to see how that would have panned out. [/QUOTE]
