Unfortunately its certain parents that dont care that cause problems for
those that do. I used to have some neighbors that just wouldnt send their kids
to school. No reason for it really, the kids just didnt want to go. She told the
school they were sick, but the kids were running around outside all day playing.
Oh and some days she didnt send them b/c she just didnt feel like getting up out
of bed and sending them off.

Yeah me too. Frankly I oppose all mandatory attendance requirements in the first place. It's the parent's decision. If I want to take my kids out of school to go study nature in the park, it's my business and no one else's. What right do they have to say it's "unexcused". When we go to Pine Mountain each year to see the Christmas lights I have to lie and tell them someone's sick or they get zero's on their work. That's just not any of the school's business. If I want them to go for a couple days, no government paper pusher should have the right to say I'm wrong.
i remember hearing back in march i believe that this little boy went to see his father off before he left for iraq and they gave him all failing marks for the day because he wasnt sick that just irked me
