Ok, I get it

Austin HATES school. A lot of 16 year old boys do. But does he really have to text me every single day at lunch and ask me if he can come home? His 2 least favorite classes are Geometry and Chemistry, and those just happen to be his last 2 classes of the day. At least count, he had 15 absences from Chemistry (his last class of the day) and they are only 10 weeks into the semester. That's more than 2 a week. I had no idea he had missed that many days. Now he is going to have to go to 2 Saturday schools just to get credit since he has missed so many times. Sigh.... Funny how he can bound out of bed at 7:00 AM on Saturdays and Sundays to go to work, after not getting home until midnight the night before, but he can't get out of bed at 7:00 AM on a school day after going to bed at 10:00.
