That pissed me off big time. The school also told me that they couldn't even remember the last time they had a student graduate with perfect attendance for that long. I guess it's not a big deal to our school. WOW.

I have had many kids in my class from homeless shelters or whose parents have minimum wage jobs who always brought their kids to school because they had no other alternative. These kids are 4-5 years old. As much as I do not agree that schools should be babysitting services, in some cases it is the reality and parents have no choice, especially when they need that pay check. Many of the kids in my class also depended on the breakfast served in morning as well, because I worked in a poverty stricken area.

I don't want sympathy; I'd far prefer fairness. Looks like I'm not likely to get either. BTW, I did go in today (I'm a trooper) but many of my colleagues couldn't possibly have made it in. My reward: 9 of my students showed up (out of over 150 on roster). Oh, and that sick day is still in my bank.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
