Ok so now it's Monday...made him sit with me last night and we wrote a letter of apology to his teacher. This kid was sweating bullets this morning when I told him I was calling at 1pm to have the conference and make sure he gave her the letter.
Teaher did apologize to me as she stated she believed him .... she has never had any problems or reason to doubt him. Still and all.. under no means is a child to be released with out a parents consent. I did make that perfectly clear.

There is no set answer to the problem without knowing what the problem is...there is a reason for the lies....to get away with the deed without responsibility..(as I see it)Thats why people lie...it is easier than the truth as they see it...
there is a reason for not getting on the bus...You must not believe whatever hogwash you are being fed by your child..He did it because he wanted to...real simple..He has already perfected lying to teachers and you..do not believe him until you have proof he has stopped his lies..make sure he understands that "cry wolf syndrome" and the results of lying to ones support group.(family and teachers)
please explain to him the severity and consequences of his actions (ie could have been injured crossing a road , kidnapped , etc..and tell him how you would feel if anything were to happen...I would follow this with a demand that he write a letter of apology to you and have him explain to you why he would never do this again...
just my opinion and and I know it is somewhat cold-hearted but so is the reality that your son was for a short time without anyone and subjected to the real world...
I wish you two well and if push comes to shove and school is that close....drive him!!..much safer than depending on school employees to watch out for him...wouldn't you agree?

Its now into his 2nd week of punishment.. ..yes he wrote the apology and the reason was because awhile back he mouthed off to the bus aide mad He did'nt want to ride the bus because he was seated at the front next to her. So he elaborated this plan thinking he could get away with it.
We did have a meeting with the teacher,punishments,talk after talk and I'm hoping that he learned his lesson.
