At least the schools are placing the blame for the kid's absence directly on the ones that are responsible...the parents. A first for sure. Too bad this wasn't done 20 years ago.
I mean, ask yourself...would you rather have the kid out doing drugs, breaking into houses, impregnating their girlfriends or watching Jerry Springer...or sitting in school?
“would you rather have the kid out doing drugs, breaking into houses, impregnating their girlfriends or watching Jerry Springer”
Leave out the breaking into houses part and you have described alot of schools. Replace Jerry Springer with some filthy movie that their “Language Arts” teacher shows them.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
What makes you think that attending school puts an end to these behaviors?
Why not ask that of the parents whose children are **forced** by the government to sit next to these children, and **forced** to assemble with these kids on a daily basis?
Ask them.
By the way, were you aware that “free assembly”” is a First Amendment human right? Being **forced** to assemble with these reprobates violates a fundamental human right.
If you are a “professional” educator where are the studies that prove that attendance in school reduces in any way “ doing drugs, breaking into houses, impregnating their girlfriends or watching Jerry Springer-like programs”? Links please.

Which is exactly what can happen when a single mom works two jobs with no father in the house. Does it make sense to jail her for her kid’s juvenile delinquency? Is that going to improve the family’s relationship?
