[quote=Anonymous]One year my kid missed a ton of school for various illnesses and I had to have a meeting with a social worker making sure that there weren't problems at home. It was actually a good conversation but they told me if DD missed more I would need to take parenting classes and meet with higher-ups in the school district. And in some areas they put parents in jail when their kids miss too much school. And as others pointed out, they punish kids for missing too much school. When I was growing up if we missed ten days of school for any reason (school athletics programs excepted) we failed the class. I went to school with a cold all the time. It would be great if this changed. Especially since hopefully we now have systems in place for kids to participate from school from home. [/quote]
