My daughter “went to school” every morning — then her teacher called and told me she’d been skipping for a whole week, so I followed her the next morning.
My daughter Sienna isn’t the type to cause trouble. Fourteen years old, moody like any teenager, but never once has she skipped a single class.
So when the school called that Thursday afternoon, I picked up immediately.
“This is Mrs. Carter. Sienna hasn’t been in school all week.” I nearly laughed out loud.
It sounded completely impossible to me. “That can’t be right,” I said.
“She leaves for school every single morning. I watch her walk out myself.”
