Truancy - Tayler's First and Hopefully Last......

I am still having trouble with Tayler wanting to go to school. She complains almost everyday that she is sick. None the less she was home sick last Thursday and Friday. (I really don't think she was sick.) This morning she was crying again because she didn't get her homework done and she would be Zapped. Which means she will work on her homework during lunch or stay after school. I told her that if she didn't go to school today that she would be grounded for the week. She threw a fit because it is MEA week and they are off of school on Thursday and Friday and that meant that she wouldn't be able to play with her friends. I continued to get ready for work and Tayler went into her room and slammed the door, but came out 5 minutes later ready for school. She got her back pack and went to the bus stop. I drove past the bus stop on my way to work to make sure she hadn't missed the bus. Well, as most of you know it was raining this morning so it took me about an hour to get to work. After being at work for about 10 minutes I get a call from Tayler, she had missed the bus. WHAT?? I am in St. Paul an hour away and she is now at home enjoying her day. I called Kristen Villarreal and she kindly picked up Tayler and took her to school. Sorry Kristen you had to take her to school. But, Thank you!! I later received a call from the school and they are marking Tayler as truant today. Hopefully she will realize that even if she doesn't like shcool, she has to go.
