TX truancy laws

If your kid gets covid or a couple bad illnesses, you’re screwed. [/quote]

Presumably absences for Covid wouldn’t be “without excuse” tho[/quote]

You’d be surprised.

Are you schlepping to the doctor for a legit note? [/quote]
Vs getting in trouble with truancy court? Sure.[/quote]

And you are proving my point about the good parents complying while the people any new policy are trying to help simply won’t comply.

Why?

You have insurance. No financial hit.

You know better. You don’t want to get in trouble.

I wish mcps would realize the impact of shifting demographics and the reality of subcultural norms. [/quote]
