[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 644686, member: 1550"] You may find this interesting, GM and CB or anyone reading this. I remember hearing that if your kid is out ten days a semester (that was our school district) it is considered truancy and they DON'T want your kid to be late, although I didn't know they went after parents for that. Jumper was late a lot and nobody cared...I think small school, everyone knew her, everyone liked her, I'd call her in...she was only a few minutes late and wouldn't miss a class, but she'd miss the bell. Anyhow... Being that I lived in a town of under 1200, we all knew one another, even the teachers and I had a teacher friend who told me what was really behind the truancy rule and this would make sense with the late rule too. A school district loses money on a child if the child does not go to school. Period. This is, of course, public school. The schools wanted your kid to at least go a half day to school so that the attendance counted. If a child is late, the attendance count may not include your child, I'm guessing, so the school loses money. I believe that this is partly true, if not 100% true. I know it is for the schools around here. GM, in ten years I'm guessing this nonsense will be done. No wonder homeschooling is growing in Wisconsin. You don't have to put up with any of this Ball shoot ;) Once you send the district a letter that you intend on homeschooling, the district can not contact you again or bother you. The down side is your child can't participate in public school activities, but most homeschool parents don't care. They have their own activities. I know quite a few homeschoolingl parents. These absurd rules do not apply to them, at least not in Wisconsin. [/QUOTE]
