I wouldn't have had to hold him back, because when I was sick there was no way I would be playing games...I either recooped or did home work so that I could be at school bright and early the next day. But if I had to hold him back...with out a doubt. There is no possible that I missed 5 dayse of school from August to May, moretheless 15 from August to the first of December

People do what works...if someone can lie and continue to get away with it, and it works for them why would they stop??? His parents need to take a stand, because it is their fault, make him go to school. My brother sometimes hates to do his homework, so my mom would take the X-Box and the PS2 for a month...that kills him...needless to say before he does anything else his homework comes first.
