Only attended 32 days this year? And the parents think that complaining to the press and filing a Civil Rights complaint is the answer?
There is more to this story.
You don’t know that.
Yes, the rest of the story is the student should have been on a home tutoring program where she comes to school when she can. She does her homework, projects and tests at home based on her medical condition and may get a few more days to hand in assignments. The kid has leukemia. That is a 3.5 year chemotherapy regimen for kids with ALL. During the first two years of that regimen most kids develop neutropenia a few days after their 4-5 hour infusions. Every 60-90 days they get a spinal tap where chemo is injected into their spine to the brain to ensure cancer cells are not 'hiding' there. The kid is 'toast' for about three weeks, feels better (but no hair) in another week or so and then back to the oncologist for 'rinse and repeat.' Then a few weeks later after the spinal tap the kid will have concentration problems as the chemo treatment of the brain degrades white matter. So the kid has to miss school again to get a CT scan of the brain to see if the damage is temporary or more long lasting. They do this to adjust the dosage.
Are you Roman Catholic? If so can you comment on what this Catholic school is doing?
