When a child gets a perfect attendance award, doesn't it just mean the parents are sending the kid to school sick?

I do not agree. I have gotten perfect attendance for 6 years. That streak ended today actually, i got the flu. Anywho, i usually only got sick on the weekends or just had the common cold, and that want bad enough to stay home. Or i would get sick after school and feel better by morning. My parents have never forced me to go to school, it was my choice sorry, random pic. Merry Christmas!
