[quote=Anonymous]My attitude toward the value of school has definitely gone down hill. The school day is remarkably inefficient, and it is easy to make up assignments. Half the school year is just glorified day care, which I don't need. I get that some family's need it but that is not a hole that schools should be filling. As I understand the school's view, you should go just to go, and they'll cite you a bunch of statistics to show my kid is going to end up as a drug-dealing high school dropout. Anyone who is willing to exercise a little common sense in understanding those stats knows they are highly unlikely to hold true for "problem" families like mine who are making conscious reasoned choices rather than engaging in neglect. The only thing that keeps me from missing more school is that my kids actually like going most of the time, and I don't feel like fielding nasty-grams from the school.[/quote]
