he would start fining schools that have obvious sick kids in class.

ahem, no. More power, more bureaucracy, no thanks.

How about this...if you have a sick kid then, you, THE PARENT, keep them home and don't give in to the "noble" label, and stop worrying about who is encouraging you to do something you shouldn't do. How about parental responsibility. Gee whiz stop giving the government school more power than they already have.

And Kevin Jennings should be out b/c of the links provided not b/c he's not telling us to keep our sick kids home or not running around fining schools b/c parents are too stupid to keep sick kids home.

Yeah, it’s always the government taking power and then passing the buck to scapegoats, in this case the parents. The government runs the stinking schools, and they have a system of duress that it’s easier to send a sick kid to school than to go to the doctor. It’s government power that created this mess. Why shouldn’t parents take note?
