Truancy policies can catch parents by surprise
You can teach people how to be creative and think and at the same time teach them responsibility. Sorry you cant grasp that.

Truancy policies can catch parents by surprise
Shocking! Parents are being held accountable and they dont like it! Yet they want the teachers and principals held acountable for everything. So if this little girl or boy starst falling behind because mom cant get out of bed in the morning then thats the teachers fault...
Accountablitiy has to start with the parents before it can be placed on the schools. Bottom line get your kid in school or homeschool them yourself!
And for all the people who are stating that "it's just kingergarten" you obviously have no clue about education. K and pre-K education has found to be one of the most important times in a child's education -thus the push for Pre-K and K education in low economic areas.
For some of you this also may be a wake up call, a lot issues like this are popping up and are going to be worse if you continue to elect leaders who cut education or if you just choose not to vote! Im sure if you could stick your kid on a bus you would have avoided this situation but there is no $ for busses. Also Im sure the school has had to cut pretty much all of its attendance staff so now it is in the hands of individual principals and secretaries.

As a parent you need to make better arrangements to get you kid to school, if you cant do it then you need to find someone who can.

I will be filling a law suit to make sure fellow teachers can't get their YMCA dues deducted or any other faith based org. If I can't get my union dues deducted then Christian org surely can't either. The state can't let the church benefit from tax payers.

Bill limiting collective bargaining for Kansas teachers draws fire
Again, you dont get it. People in the private sector can and do raise their prices as the prices of their expenses increase. I understand you can not grasp that concept. You are trying to compare the private bussiness sector to public service employees. Apples and oranges but I know you wont get that. Also your "friend" the mechanic, when he buys tools those are his tools that he can use over and over and remain his property. Very little of what teachers buy remain with them, other than maybe classroom books. Teaching supplies, copies, lunch money for kids who dont have any, coats and clothing for students, supplies that children dont get from home, etc never come back to the teacher. Your good ol boy mechanic isnt losing $ he will just charge more for "labor" And by the way you complain more than any teacher.
move along troll.
