[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you taken your concern directly to the principal?[/quote]

No I haven't--by the scolding tone of these newsletter warnings about coming "early" I wouldn't think she'd be very receptive. They are very punitive in this school even if your little pre-kr is late because of emotional melt down and poop attack while there older sib is now late too because of it you are just [color=red][size=24]TARDY [/size][/color] no excuses tolerated. And pretty soon they're dragging you in for a conference if your child is sick and you call it in but fail get an OK from the principal. [b]Parents do not have the autonomy to call their child in sick ANYMORE. I find that INCREDIBLY intrusive. I really would like to get a sense here if others are finding the tone to be heavy handed.[/b][/quote]

Hell yeah.  If a parent can't call the child in sick, then who pray tell, can?  Surely you're not supposed to take your child to the doctor for every little fever or spit-up.  That's just infantilizing.
