Case: consistent checkouts
A child constantly checks out prior to class on quiz and test days. He often misses many other days. The attendance clerk enters the following excuses on a regular basis: illness, dentist, early dismissal, etc. Parents have been contacted consistently to no avail. Dad works out of town all week, mom works for DFACS, and grandma is the one giving permission for the child to check out of school. Mom has come to parent conference - only because dad made her, but nothing has changed. He is extremely smart but applies himself very, very little. Despite many one-on-one conversations about his potential, he is failing 6 out of 7 classes. What do we do as educators when our children are failing because we have so little parent support?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Sometimes it seems as though our hands are tied. Are there excuses being brought back for these check outs? At our school our counselor turns students names in to truancy court who are not at school and their grades are being affected because of this. The parents will have to sign a truancy agreement and then if they fail to abide by that the parents could be fined or do jail time. It seems that these parents need to be held accountable for their child's education. |

| Comments: I don't believe sending the parents to court will help the student. It may even make him care less about school! |
