ARGH ~ I got a letter from my son's school this week stating that I needed to watch his absences so they do not become excessive. He's missed 3 days of school this year (1 unexcused because we were out of town and 2 sick days). That really blew me away, 3 days and they're wasting my time and paper sending me a letter. Apparently you get a letter for every 3 days they miss. Mind you my son is a straight A student taking all honors classes. I called the attendence office and they said they were allowed to miss 10 days per semester. My question was why then was I getting a letter after 3 days. But alas I had spoken with an answering machine and the answer I received was two days later left on my voice mail. I'm taking my son out of school in January to go to Disney. He'll miss 5 days. I have to fill out a form to get PERMISSION to take MY SON out of school. That completely burns me up. It's my child. I understand the funding issues and all of that hullaballoo but it's my child and he's a straight A honor student for pity's sake. Does anyone else have to go through hoops when their children miss school?
