because she is tired? She woke up with dark circles under her eyes...she just seemed so droopy, not like herself at all. Her school works them very hard (private and a bit too academic really) She had a bit of a temp too.

She is happy at school, her teacher says she works very hard and is always cheerful...we don't take lots of days off...but I jut told my sister I had let her stay off because she was so tired and she said "Oh God you're such a pushover!"

I dont over protect her....I push her to do her best but now I am thinking maybe I should have just sent her.

She isn't leaping around or anything...she's sititng and reading quietly and usually she is raring to go to school in the morning...the earlier the better! So AIBU?

I think school, then a very early night would have been better.

agree an odd day off at home (esp a quiet one) does the world of good and esp as had a temp, then she wasnt feeling 100%

day off, early to bed and back to school tom

only you know,but if you have a deeper malaise cant keep avoiding school

given you pay for school why are you unhappy with with school ethos

Yanbu, though otoh I'd have sent my DC to school and then very early night. He's not had a day off sick yet and I don't want him getting ideas!!
