All 3 of mine went too but our roads SUCKED! We live on the opposite side of town and maryville road was horrible! My 16 yr old is like that too about school...he was furious with me when i made him stay home with strep throat a month ago but of course the attendance lady was nasty but I faxed in the dr.s note to her.....didn't hear another word from her! Grrr
