[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just received a USPS letter from MCPS informing me that my child was absent for 5 days in November, and that missing more than 2 days per month is considered chronically absent and I should try harder to get him to school.  I was, of course, aware that he was absent, as evidenced by the fact that every day I filled in the online google attendance form from his school.  He was puking his guts out the whole week, so I assume MCPS did not actually want me to send him?

Also, if MCPS really cares about the education of children who miss school for illness, maybe they could make it easier for them to make up assignments?  He failed a make up test because he had to take it the week after returning, despite having missed the entire week of instruction.  He couldn't eat lunch for an entire week (after returning weakened from illness) because he had to go in to some class every single day at lunch to make up work.
  
What an absolute waste of resources to send these letters out to parents.  I'm sure the parents who have kids struggling with chronic illnesses are even more irked to get these sanctimonious letters urging us to care more about our child's attendance.  [/quote]

Calm down, OP. No need for your histrionics.[/quote]
