our school has adopted a 7 days absent policy per semester. if you go over the 7 you get flunked with out a doctors note or congressional passage of a bill in your honor.

with this flu, two of ours missed 6 days, we get a friendly letter explaining the deal, and I am all set to go to the next board meeting.

the reason they adopted this is due to a family who is a bunch of skinheads...they let their kids skip all the time, and the principle is afraid of them! so they use a board policy as a backbone replacement for our principle.

most parents are running their kids to the doctor for every little runny nose, we make our kids lay on the couch and tough it out. less medicine is better health!

a school is a building built by taxpayers, funded by taxes, to EDUCATE the kids of taxpayers.... but in their mind, it is a place where they control everything, and try to spend more of our money.

It wont get any better.
 
I would like to home school, but then if my kid gets real good grades, everyone will just say I slept with their teacher, so she would pass them.....

just like I was blamed in highschool!
 
Katrina, is that VAlentine district?

My wife just had a baby, and there were some serious difficulties. Everythig looks all good now, but we had some real concerns. She wanted to seek specialists back in Wichita Kansas near where we're from. So my kids have missed 20 days of school. My kids have done every scrap of work - just not at school. THey've threatened to flunk my kids and prosecute me. I'm going to offer to homeschool my kids to accomodate their abscenses (read deprive funding). My kids are at the top of their classes, as pronounced by their teachers, and they're going to fail. I heard through the small town grapevine the school was really miffed when my kids missed the "Bush tests." This proud papa thinks they wanted my kids in the data to pull up the average. They seem to forget, the parent is the primary educator of the child.

By the way, the Mrs Theiss that said "blame Bush" is otherwise a demanding and excellent teacher.

My kids already finked out some kids for gang signing. They told their momma and she rode her broom straight to town and eared down the Principal.
 
Nope...... Rosebud rez..........
I can say nothing but good things about the Valentine High School and really appreciate the fine teachers who teach there...... And the kids who except the country kids, they all come into school and are well recieved.. Some mighty fine parenting going on in heart city.....
 
Brad,
I'm certainly no expert on this subject, but from what I understand(I think) it's a state law in nebraska and channels have to be followed... I'm sure if you go down to the school and explain the situation nothing will come of it... Talk to the teachers and principle, I would be really surprised if anything was to it. With so many delinquant parents,(rez) and I damn sure don't mean you, it's a pretty standard thing....... I can't believe they would not understand your situation...
Any teacher would want a bright straight a student in there class.... Take it as a complament...Maybe just relax alittle bit and remember gossip is just that gossip.......
