I know for most of us, it is a "tough noogies, school is from 8 am to 3 pm" situation, but when you're dealing with a disability or other medical/emotional problem and not a willful flauting of school rules, they really should work with you. SOMETHING is very wrong that your child would avoid school like that directly or not, yk??<br /><br />:(Happy Elf Mom (Christine)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15047347624037697311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-33513030206641582482012-08-29T00:17:49.124-05:002012-08-29T00:17:49.124-05:00Wow! That could totally have been me at times! Thi...Wow! That could totally have been me at times! This is absolutely ridiculous and infuriates me beyond words. There have been many occasions where my son was up ALL NIGHT LONG and I could not get him to wake up enough to go to school. I would have to take him in late. Upon being somewhat harassed about the situation, I did attempt to start taking him in regardless of the sleep situation. On the occasions that I did drag him out of bed, go through the screaming and fighting lack of sleep battle, and take him to school on no sleep, guess what happened....I got a call saying he was falling asleep at school and that I needed to come and get him. Really?? Have these people ever heard of, 'You can't have one's cake and eat it too?" I won that battle in the end, and the school finally backed off, but it is scary to think that I could have been in a similar position had they not. <br />We don't know the circumstances in this particular situation, of course, but it is absolutely absurd to prosecute someone like that. Okay, rant over!Jennifer Warmbrodt Photographyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07066965375481719905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-86485053763543111362012-01-26T13:47:22.174-06:002012-01-26T13:47:22.174-06:00Holy cow!!!!!!

That is just plain awful that jail would be given to this poor woman before some other course of action. I am appalled...I just ran out of words to even comment anymore!

I'd like to know what this child is dreading so much at school, or if it is simply a problem with his ability to get through all the items on his list (eat breakfast, get books, wahtever) on time.Happy Elf Mom (Christine)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15047347624037697311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-58301393052123789802012-01-23T21:21:08.503-06:002012-01-23T21:21:08.503-06:00That's awful.

We want to jail single mom's who TRY to do what is right, but we let convicted sex offenders and addicts go because of over crowding. <br /><br />Why doesn't the school step it up and work with her? Maybe send a vehicle to her home with an aide to go in the house and help get the boy out and to the building on time? If it's such an easy thing to do...then step up and help her do it.Blondeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11827536147609261504noreply@blogger.com
