[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 208556, member: 1991"] I'd be ringing the teacher as a start, to find out what was supposed to be happening on Friday that was announced earlier in the week. She was PLANNING to duck school that day and she had a different excuse every day. I didn't believe the science project thing either. It was also something she was really desperate to avoid - and if my kid is that desperate, I want to know why. My kid MAY be doing something wrong, or someone may be doing something wrong to my kid. But open communication is the best way to start. Pick the brains of the teacher, see what answer you get when you ask, "What was scheduled to happen or due on Friday that you announced or reminded earlier in the week?" If necessary, add in the next question, "Can you think of any reason for my daughter to be so incredibly determined to be absent on Friday? Have you observed anything different? Concerning? Changes in her behaviour? Changes in who she's associating with?" But ask carefully, it could be the teacher who's part of the problem. Again, you should hear if this is the case, in the teacher's response. And also for future reference - until you're sure she is going to comply, get yourself dressed before you drive her to school! That way you can up the ante when you call her bluff! Hey, been there done that - I now have stuff in my wardrobe that I can throw on over pyjamas so it doesn't look like I'm wearing PJs. In summer - a swimsuit with bra support built in. I just pull a skirt over the top. In winter - a down jacket and tracksuit pants can hide a multitude of flannel stripes and fluffy kittens. And the absence of a bra! Marg [/QUOTE]
