[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bonkers thread. I’ve never rooted against people so hard as I do these parents. (And I generally support wiggle room.) they’re really saying the quiet part out loud. I’m sure they’ll get their way in the end, unfortunately.[/quote]

These parents think they can always get what they want, always have the system bend to their needs, etc.  These are those parents that want DCPS to have a strict absence policy for kids in other wards but want their kids to be excused for their trips to Paris because it’s educational.  [/quote]

A trip to Paris is educational. The fastest way to a defunded department of education is to not show an understanding of this. Taking away someone’s trip to Paris gets you nothing, and then gets what you have taken away.[/quote]

Missing school for a soccer tournament is also educational. So is attending the Westinghouse competition. Call CPS for any of this, call CPS for redshirting, while leaving other kids abused and you will get an immediate loss in support for institutions you want to be strong.

Loosen absentee policies on other wards if you want, but take the steps to make public schools the best they can be if you’re going to send your children there.[/quote]

By the way anti-redshirters, you know this is where things are headed next right? CPS investigates your trip to Paris.[/quote]
