[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly when mine is doing well and not getting in trouble when she’s skipping, I could care less. If she’s managing her grades then she’s doing her job. If the schools cared, there would be consequences and there aren’t.

As far as influencing other kids, there are countless groups of kids who could potentially influence your kids. Those who do drugs and vape in the hallways. Those who never show up at all and fail. My kid who skips classes but gets all As. Etc. Etc. You just need to teach your kid to do what they need to do to be successful. It’s not my kid’s job to do what your kid needs them to do so your kid can be successful. You’re focusing on the wrong thing. [/quote]

I am focusing on the wrong thing? LOL. Ok expert. Perhaps it's the military in me, but showing up is the first step to success. Also, I wasn't blaming kids- of course they are going to skip IF there is not a consequence for doing so. I am thinking the school systems need to rethink their stance. Getting good grades is pretty easy now. Maybe it's you who is focusing on the wrong thing[/quote]
