No one will - it's the great decline. The college will just be thankful if OP's daughter can read, write, add, and subtract without remedial classes. It's so bad.

Attendance is on the transcript- if someone decides to care.

Some people don't understand, as a parent you will need to do things your kid won't like for their own good. In this case, it's telling them."School is your job right now. You will show up."
My job has PTO which I take all the time when things are slow.
Isn't the pro-FCPS crowd in another thread saying that teachers can take PTO whenever they want (the people with the *actual* job) while fussing here when students skip movie day or catch up day for the kids who are behind?
You mean the working professionals with leave they are allowed to take? Students don’t have leave.
Stop comparing students to teachers. They are NOT the same, nor should they be treated as such.
But it's their JOB!

In FCPS the parents sue that teacher and the school and he loses his job.
