[quote=Anonymous]I'd let her keep missing and showing up late.  Don't write notes and don't call her in "sick."  When you do call the school, state "she's not there b/c she wouldn't come."  It'll get reported and a truancy officer will show up.  That should scare her enough to get her act together.

My brother pulled similar stunts because he hated his first period class and teacher.  If he wasn't oversleeping on purpose, he was missing the bus on purpose.  But not just missing it, he'd miss the bus on purpose and then stand there until my mom had no choice but to drive him and he was sure he'd missed most of his 1st period class.  She finally stopped waking him up or calling him in "sick" and after so many unexcused absences, the truancy officer showed up and told him he could either get himself to school or he could come and accompany him to school.  The next morning the officer showed up just to prove he was serious and my brother got his act together and started going to school.    [/quote]
