[quote=Anonymous]OP, the issue is not kids like yours, but you are swept up in the same one-size-fits-all problem-solving. The issue in elementary school in particular is that a lot of lower-income ESOL students miss 1-3 months of each year going back to their countries. Then they return to school and fail all the SOL's. It's frustrating to the schools that they can't stop this. Sounds like yours is trying to crack down with threatening letters, but of course you're probably not the person who is actually causing the problem - but ARE probably the only one actually reading and caring about the empty threats. The ones whose kids are missing a third of the year and who most need to be in school couldn't care less about letters from the school.[/quote]
