      Lying to coerce a child into doing something they hate could be fine. But it also could be catastrophic. The proper* parenting move is obviously to figure out why the child doesn’t like going to school, and address that.

      Because they were lied to unnecessarily.

      The parent is trading long term trust and respect in their relationship for short term compliance. That should only be done in emergencies.
