Pretty much a Republican waged war on education up here in the Granite State. They already passed school vouchers, then expanded it to universal school vouchers. They are actively pushing school choice (you can go to any school in the state). Net result that I'm seeing is everyone's property taxes are going up while the wealthy people who already send their kids to private school were the first in line to get money from the state. They are moving full steam ahead to privatization of schools. Where I live out in the boonies that would be a freaking disaster.
Tennessee school wonât accept doctorâs notes for absences
Lawrence County School System officials said the school is instituting the policy to teach students work ethic and reliability, saying that students will be expected to go to work sick or injured as adults.
It explains a lot about TN being in the bottom half for performance. Play that out....
- kids come to school sick
- other kids get sick
- some parents eventually say you need to stay home
- school doesn't accept note....
What's next? They suspend the student who they stopped taking notes about because they want to reduce truancy?
You could keep them back a year...which will only ensure they drop out at higher rates.
Drop-outs are 4 times more likely to have negative outcomes than everyone else (arrests, drug use, government dependency, poor health....)
Either the school board members get replaced soon....or the policy in Lawrence county is going to get itself canceled.
At a job.... you get fired. If you don't want to go to school, Lawrence County is going to reward you for not showing up.
