>> Well that ought to upset DW, more than she already is. She
had a meeting with the stupidest public educator we've ever met this
morning, Diane Sconzo, over our kids absences due to non stop illnesses
they contract at that cesspool they call a school....
@MTechnique: If you have drs notes for every absence then the
school cannot do anything. They will send home letters but they have to
do that.Â
@Okiedokie: Sadly that is incorrect. 17 of 19 days missed have doctor
notes. Once they get past 18 days missed they have the option to
"retain" the child. Retain is the new way of saying "held back" because
holding a child back could hurt their feelings.Mind you this is a
straight A student, and he is being threatened by the principal with
being held back and forced to repeat a grade because of his constant
illnesses.
@Burnsway: We met with the principal, Cant Understand Normal Thinking sums her up. The only things she cares about are maintaining 100% government funding through attendance, and those ever important standardized tests. 4951
