Our school will not accept parental notes on absences, and sent us a note mentioning the No Child Left Behind policy as to why they may be issuing a warrant for my husband's arrest for the "unexcused" absences. So now I guess No Child Left Behind means also - take your child to the DR whether you need to or not because their absences make our school look bad in the eyes of the Federal government.

BTW- When he went and raised hell about this to the school, they admitted they had no authority to do any such thing, their was no such thing as a truancy warrant, so it was all empty threats.

The next school board meeting is March 4th, and a lot of pissed off parents are going to be there.

That's what you expect. When the bureaucracy doesn't want to teach they will start picking on the people. Easy to predict. Deal with it.

The real problem is the teachers union and their dem shills. You can't just go out and try to abolish the teachers unions although that would clearly be best 'for the children', But you gotta do it slow. I would bet if you could get Bush aside he would agree.

I have an appointment with my 5 year olds school principle this thursday, due to his absenses. I have to admit he has missed alot, but all were excused by me sending a note which is required, but now they want Dr. excuse, and he did'nt always go to Dr.He does get sick alot, I think because he was a preemie, gets alot of chest infections.
Now I'm worried I'll get the riot act.
