Maybe I am naive but I can't believe this is happening at the
elementary level. Seriously, I am shocked! As the parent of
4 children I can't imagine why you wouldn't want them to be
in school?
I had instances with teens testing the waters, but even then
between the school and we as parent's we came up with
solutions to make sure they were in school where they belonged.
My one son was so ingenious that he would call in pretending to
be his Dad with all sorts of excuses. Well, I fixed that fast by
telling the attendence office O.K. we are going to be using a
password from now on if this password is not mentioned on
the call in please notify me at work immediately because it is
an absence that I am not aware of. Fixed that problem pretty
fast!
It's unfortunate that it takes fines to make people realize that
once you decide to have children parenting them is not an option
but a responsibility.
