I wrote a long thing in solidarity but accidentally deleted it trying to edit it and now I'm distracted by the fact that the captcha is my name and I have performance anxiety about typing it wrong and being expelled from the internet. <br /><br />I may have had too much caffeine today.rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05910219770775710188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36945735.post-1235281583344063242013-05-14T22:31:00.403-05:002013-05-14T22:31:00.403-05:00I agree - the people who take advantage really scr...I agree - the people who take advantage really screw it up for everyone else.

They only get their funding if the kid is present. <br /><br />You could send your kids to school and if they don't feel well, tell them to ask to see the principal for some comfort and perhaps a nap in their office. ckhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07167055955874167723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36945735.post-89415371721866175542013-05-02T16:27:28.512-05:002013-05-02T16:27:28.512-05:00Remember, common sense is not common - especially ...Remember, common sense is not common - especially when it comes to rules.

We're having a similar issue at our high school - they tightened the attendance policy because kids were skipping a lot of days to attend college fairs and visits, and there was a perception that the policy was being abused. Now there's a concern that kids are not going to enough college info sessions because they're afraid of losing credit. There are always going to be kids and parents that abuse the policy, and the right answer, which is a review upon appeal, sometimes slams the wrong parents, like you. I don't get the before school attendance sessions, though.

I think most schools and teachers have kids best interests at heart but they are hogtied by bureaucracy.
