Back when I was in school, admittedly quite a long time ago, the school could discipline you for anything you did between when you left home in the morning and returned home after school. Or possibly went to work or some other location where you obviously weren’t “in transit” anymore.
Not saying I necessarily agree with this policy, but it certainly isn’t completely new.
When I was a kid, every home had a mother waiting and if any kid was 10 minutes late they had to explain themselves.
Kids went home, had a snack, did their homework, ate dinner with mom AND dad, watched 1/2 hour of G-rated TV and went to bed.
Women are to blame for this mess.
That may be true Sherman, but I doubt it involved a police officer sent to observe and share ‘reports’ on children with the school and the police dept, and not with the parent.
The math is wrong, the English confusing, and there is no logic to the argument. Sure, the principal may give guidance, but it should not be in the Handbook.
