Don't be too hard on him..many times when children react like this, there is something deeper bothering them.. My son hated to go to school in 2nd grade and I couldn't figure out why...finally the teacher sent home a note saying he wasn't eating his lunch so she made him bring his lunch to the room...and made him eat it all! He has always been a picky eater..he threw up all over the tray... I had a fit..I went to school and told the principal I was paying for his lunches and if he didn't eat them it was my business not the schools. I told Him I'd rectify the problem, I'd pack his lunch every day, and I did.. So it wasn't the school or the work...it was the rotten teacher...

Rudi's right Gloop. I think most parents have been hit with this same situation only to find out it really is something different.

Ya know, every once in a while, kids just need a break from school. If my kids grades are good, there's no big test coming up and they haven't missed school for being sick, I just take 'em out for a day and we go so something fun. Maybe twice a year at the most. If my kids are faking being sick at school and I've got to take off work to get 'em, you can bet there's gonna be hell to pay. Luckly for them, they've learned their lesson early on.<g>
