[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How are her grades?  If she's a straight A student otherwise, I'd let it pass.[/quote]
+1. School is my kids' job. Provided they're doing well on all measurable objectives and are not getting into serious trouble at school, I don't get involved much at the high school stage. If my kids got into trouble at school for cutting class, I would expect them to deal with the consequences of their actions. Otherwise, I wouldn't consider it a big deal unless there were significant other factors at play (missing curfew by more than our family's grace period, missing a family obligation, etc.)[/quote]

So, its ok your child skips school but not misses an family obligation... wow.  If it is their job, is it ok just not to show up at work one day? [/quote]

Most people have personal days, so I'm going to go out on a whim and say yes. If my child misses enough days or classes to get themselves in trouble, then obviously it is not okay and the school will impose consequences which my child will be stuck with. ~PP[/quote]

Most jobs don't have personal days.  And, not all jobs allow you to take it without being sick last minute.  Child did not tell parents where she was and made it sound like they were going to school.  So, what job do you know that you can just choose not to show up and not call or email and still have a job the next day.  Its not the school's job to parent your child, its yours.[/quote]

There are a gazillion jobs that don't require you to be there every single moment.

How old are you?

I would explain the complications of lying and being somewhere you should not be, but missing the last period of short meaningless days,I would reward her for good time management skills.[/quote]
