Doctor Notes Are No Longer Sufficient Enough When Calling In Sick From School In Lawrence County TN.

Go here for the news. If this is all true, my big question is what is considered a legit reason to not be at school?

God bless you and the kids who live there always!!!

P.S. I wonder if this also goes for the teachers and other school workers.

So it is an absence.

What is the result of an absence or so many absences?

 

[JOSweetHeart]

^^^ Yeah, but according to what is being said, being sick is no longer a legit excuse therefore, if you are home sick, it is now being labeled an unexcused absence. I wonder if having surgery and the recovery time after the surgery is considered an unexcused absence now. I missed two days of school when my wisdom teeth were removed during my senior year of high school.

God bless you always!!!

The article states as much. Did you not see it?

I think this is a case of eliminating the process of what is excused or unexcused. If students are allowed to make up work regardless, it amounts to a whole nothing burger. When I was teaching, most teachers allowed work to be made up because our data only showed them absent and would not be updated until the attendance clerk made the changes which could take days for a student to bring a note, A good student would have the work made up by then and you would be left holding the work to see if the absence was excused. Most teachers just gave credit regardless.

So the school gives you eight days. When I went to school in the late 70's we got 10 days. I suppose it was a bit of roll of the dice but we looked at it as they were giving us 10 days to skip school.

Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

This school district should be sued into oblivion.

^^^ I read the stuff that I share. Maybe not all that well compared to the next person, but when I don't see it being addressed here already, and I think that it is worth acknowledging, I bring it over here.

God bless you always!!!
