[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Former dcps teacher here, 12 years at an elementary feeder to schools in article. [b]Our admin would request a parent shadow and if parent couldn't do that child had to stay home. [/b] We probably recorded it at an excused absence, but that's a whole separate topic of dysfunctional dcps. [/quote] This sounds reasonable but how do you really enforce it? I mean you can't exactly cut benefits by a small margin if parents don't take care of their children, many advocates and ultra-liberal people won't support it. I would absolutely support a bill that fined parents benefits if they don't show up to parent teacher conferences, their children are consistently late to school or absent from school, or in trouble. Unfortunately, the pressure is too misplaced on schools and not enough on the parents who bore these out of control children. [/quote]
