[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In some schools, attendance is taken 30 times per week (period attendance). A student can easily acquire many absences if school based activities are coded incorrectly by the teachers ( field trips , special ed pullout services, athletic travel, guidance counseling[/quote]

Yeah, and this is where this becomes a class thing.  I have time to call the school and fight to get them to correct wrongly entered absences (most days DS has a game, he gets marked absent and many days when he's sitting in class he gets marked absent).  Lots of parents don't.[/quote]

Lot's of parents don't understand, just because you send your child to school does not mean they are sitting in class in middle and high school. We have many many hall walkers, teachers take attendance during the 1st 10 minutes, you would be shocked how many students skip class, enter during 1st 10 mins then leave and don't come back, or just roam the halls. Again, parents just because you send your child does not mean they are sitting in class and doing their work![/quote]
