I'd talk with him or her to try to find out what was wrong and then work to solve the problem. Maybe there's a bully? Maybe the work is too hard because of a learning disability? Maybe the child doesn't want to be away from me? There could be lots of legitimate reasons and too many parents ignore the child's complaints-then they end up victims of abuse, or suicide, or other tragedies. Wake up parents, if your child is begging not to go to school, find out why!
