[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Send the parents to mandatory parenting classes.[/quote] And what if they don't go--[b]put them in jail?[/b] I think you'd find with many truant students that the parent is already in jail, or 80-something great-grandma has guardianship, or the kid's placed in foster care in Bowie and can't get to school easily, or the kid is herself a parent. I'm not saying that attendance is unfixable. Just that it's really hard and requires a lot of resources and skilled workers with low caseloads. And the place to start is probably not high school. How many kindergartners miss 20 days a year? How many 5th graders? [/quote] Definitely. Same for the parents letting their kids run around and carjack and steal coats. [/quote] The parents are in jail themselves which is why they aren’t around to keep their kids from carjacking.[/quote]
