[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As parents we were told that FCPS wouldn't condone nor stop kids from walking out. They did say that kids who miss class would be dealt with in the same way as any other unexcused absence. In other words, kids are free to leave, but they face the consequences of missing class. I would rather the school not condone any walkout, regardless of the cause. Some schools were more lenient, allowing 17 minutes, but any more than that is an unexcused absence. I think it should be dealt with more harshly, kids should not walk out of school without penalty. They are free to protest, but do it on their own time not the schools time. As taxpayers, we are paying for teachers to be in school teaching them, so it costs us too. [/quote] The bloody carnage of the school shootings are on school time so I am OK with the walk out being on school time. [/quote]
