[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We got a letter after DS had been absent 5 days. Threatening court action if we missed 10 or more. We already had another trip scheduled that would be obvious he wasn’t sick (coming back tanned) so we said he was on vacation a couple of days and came back sick. He was out a week and still scored perfect on his math test. It’s ES for goodness sake they’ll learn more a week in Europe or wherever than they will in class. Which is constantly interrupted with whatever activity is that week. Boosterthon, movie time, flashlight reading time etc. All this has done is teach parents to lie. He’s going to have another cold for the upcoming Eclipse trip. [/quote] What? Court action for 10 days off for family trips for a kid with perfect scores on his tests?[/quote] Truant laws apply to everyone, not just to "other families"? Oh no![/quote]
