WOW! that's awesome! I wish
WOW! that's awesome! I wish my state would do that! We were just talking about this not too long ago. In my state, as mandated reports, school district employees can call in a hotline to CPS for Educational neglect for non-attendance. BUT and that's a huge BUT... it's a joke. CPS will go and get after them and then refer them to this agency or that or just tell them to "home school" since the kid won't get out of bed (like any home schooling is ever going to happen??) and nothing happens to these kids or parents.
I WISH, the scumbags would get fined/sent to jail... it would probably change their attitude
They do it here too. Dh said
They do it here too. Dh said he hopes it doesnt come back on him. I dont think it will as she is cp. But dh did try to tell her she needs to do something but she had an excuse for everyone of them. He went from staying on his ass til he got up to getting him up to go in with her to her making go to bed early to taking his stuff away and her taking him to school. Nope she cant do any of that.
In my state the "parent being
In my state the "parent being held responsible" is only until the age of 16! After that the child is on their own. They can go to school or drop out.
I think if they miss too many days the school will drop them.
This is true in my state
This is true in my state also, which I think is a bunch of crap since the parents are still legally responsible for the kid. It is beyond me why the state can say it is ok for a 16 year old to decide they don't want to go to school anymore and the parents can do nothing about it.
I heard on the news the other
I heard on the news the other day that 25% of high school students are drop-outs - I was floored. I never realized it was so high.
In the district I work in?
In the district I work in? It's at like 35% right now. It's a joke. We try and try to get these kids to school, had (before major budget cuts) all kinds of alternatives (night school, on-line school, alternative middle/high school) and the kids STILL won't come because the parents won't make them. And CPS is worthless. Oh, they put a little scare in some of them, but most know that nothing will ever come of an ed neglect hotline. The kid will reach compulsory age before CPS ever really cracks down and it's just a huge waste of everyone's time and money. and the kid is a drop out, running the streets or playing video games in their mommas basement.
I've been working for this district for 13 years now and it wasn't like this when I started. It just gets worse and worse every year. I can only imagine what it will be like in 10 more years... God help the person that takes my position after I retire (if I make it THAT long!)
WOW. That is so sad. I know
WOW. That is so sad. I know some friends from high school that dropped out for various reasons back then and they all regret it now - some went back to get their GED and such but so hard. I hope I can push the importance of completing high school to my kids - at this point I can't imagine losing that fight. I will fight that one to the death.
Me too! I would sleep in my
Me too! I would sleep in my car if I needed to fork out big money to send BS to military school or something.. but HE.WILL.GRADUATE.HIGH.SCHOOL.... I also really don't even want college to be an option for him.... for ME it will be expected of him. My DH, started college, but didn't finish and was lucky enough to get into law enforcement and had a good job before he got disabled.. so he isn't quite as big on the importance of college like I am.
Although, I have also said that by the time BS2 graduates from high school, the ways kids are being raised now, he'll be about the only one looking for a job or entrance to college so it should be easy as pie for him
Oh well not your kid not your
Oh well not your kid not your problem. As long as the long-term affects dont set you back. Such as a slothy HS dropout feeling the need to live w/ stepparents/NCP when CP kicks them out.
I don't get your BM at all!
I don't get your BM at all! High school graduation is the bare minimum, and worth fighting for, even if she has to get law enforcement involved! How can she not expect him to be dependant on her forever...unless that's her plan. Ughh!
Oiland water i really think
Oiland water i really think that is her plan. She has said from the time i.meet her she was her kids to stay as little as long as possible. I think you are onto something. Yea i domt get why she is jist saying cant do.anything and isnt going to.do.anything.
