[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^^ p.s.: Our school principal knew of — and fully approved — the absences beforehand. But something, nevertheless, got triggered in the system. It was someone in DCPS central’s truancy office who got on our case. I think there was a social worker who called me, too. Anyway, this was a number of years ago. FWIW: My kids have never been late to school once. And they’ve never once missed school for vacation. Never.[/quote] No one is above the law. Period. Can you not fathom how ridiculous it could be if they gave every parent with advanced degrees an automatic pass? That would be unfair and problematic on its face. It isn’t as if children of educated parents are immune from neglect or abuse. And DCPS’ “boxes” for excused absences is not narrow. Illness, funerals, religious observances, spending one with a deployed military parent, take your home to work day etc. [/quote]
