[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How does the ability to keep your kids home until January without providing them education NOT mean some sort of child abuse?

[/quote]

Because they are providing them an education. [/quote]

The thing is that maybe YOU or the other poster are providing their children with an education. But there are parents who will be able to just...not do that. There's nothing to stop them. That is educational neglect. It is a crime, or was until now.[/quote]

And if the school thinks that’s what is happening, they can give the family unexcused absences.  [/quote]

I'm sure this will be applied equitably.  (Meaning:  I don't believe this will be applied equitably.)

Also, the school should not be made to make that decision.  Once they decide it for one parent, all parents will be able to.  Because how is the school going to draw the line?[/quote]

They can't.  So you will have people that just don't do anything educational for their kids.[/quote]

Actually the schools were doing home visits, seeing the education plan the parents had put together, and were openly talking about how ridiculous this whole thing is.  This has all been reported in the news.

This is very different than ... kid just disappears from school and nobody reports it. [/quote]
