The child misses 15 days of school this year due to various illness (that she probably caught at school) and without so much as a phone call or note from the school, the mother is ARRESTED?!? That is scary!! I don't blame her for pulling her kid out of that school, I would too!
I agree! That is wrong! They should have notified her. Here she thought all was hunky dory, then BAM, to jail she goes. That's messed up!
This is the sort of thing that proves one thing...ALWAYS get stuff in writing. This should be a lesson to what happens when you put too much trust in the system doing you right. When I was a senior in a public high school, I got very sick right at the end of the school year. What did the adminstration of the school think? Yep...you guess it...this senior was skipping school. I missed almost two weeks of school and lost about 12 pounds because I couldn't eat and could barely drink fluids. Even though my own mother went to school to vouch for me, I MYSELF HAD TO DRAG MY SICK SELF out of bed and stagger into the school pale as a ghost to prove it to some of the faculty. Thankfully, I had no record of misbehavior over the years and had a few teachers who helped me out, one of whom I counted as a friend and who was also on the absentee committee. here was still one teacher, believe it or not, that insisted on failing me (she didn't like me anyway) however I had enough credit to graduate without her stamp of approval. I was fortuate enough to graduate with the rest of my class, although it was a chore to get through the ceremony.
