One day, Alexandra Frost’s son literally ran away from the bus. He told her he didn’t want to go to school and apparently he really, really meant it. She had to chase him down — and this is the kicker — while heavily pregnant. “Since then, we haven’t had as dramatic of an exit, but have battled many bouts of school refusal, due to gripes with friends, the wrong kind of chocolate milk in the lunchroom, and a few more serious issues,” she writes. And so she decided to investigate: What’s up with school refusal, and what the heck are we supposed to do?
Hope nobody’s day included a frantic sprint after a runaway kid, and if so, that you have better luck tomorrow.
