    School refusal, sometimes referred to as school phobia, describes a severe anxiety and fear associated with going to school. School refusal is sometimes associated with separation anxiety, especially in younger children, or social phobia, which usually occurs in older children.

    the actual name is Didaskaleinophobia. Not all phobias are referred as the fear then "phobia" although several are referred that way (such as Fraceophobia, Arachnophobia, etc) and Didaskaleinophobia is one of those phobias that is NOT worded that way, although some of us wish it was because it is very hard to spell when you're sitting in psychology class and have it as a word answer or something, like Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia (unrelated) but it's the fear of long words. But MOST phobias are NOT stated as the fear and then ophobia, as many people tend to state them as which is incorrect.

    There is no technical term. If you don't go to school, you have to
    wash the breakfast dishes, sweep the drive, clean the bird cage.

    I can think of a few more. Hey! Where did you go?
