The Los Angeles school district is requesting that parents pay $40 for any day their child misses school! What a demented idea: Your child is sick, so can't avail himself of that day's lessons. Therefore you should pay for the lesson (for which you already paid thru your taxes!). There is no end to the greed of liberals.
What's Gary Condit doing these days? (Or who?)
When your child is in daycare, if they have a fever you're not allowed to bring them in until they're fever free for 24 hrs. But you still have to pay for those days they're absent. In addition most places of employment won't pay you for those days you're out with a sick child (although now in CA they have that hillary idea... med. leave?). And then there's the doctor bill.
