Some morons in this world just need to have the crap beaten out of them for such stupidity. (I'm talking about the people punishing the people in the articles)
So people commit murder and get as low as 5 years and under, but someone's kid ditches class and a teacher makes a toothpick disappear and all hell breaks loose? Stupid.......
wow... a big WTF on that. so sad..
I read about that too. It's really shitty.
Yeah pretty sucky! It is one thing to have to pay for the neighbors car/house window when your kid puts a baseball through it, it's a whole other thing to pay for your kids failure in school. ESPECIALLY after they turn 18!
You can do lots of things, but you can't force a kid to study. I'm doing that with the boy right now, and he can sit in his room for 5 hrs and accomplish nothing, if he doesn't want to do it.
I also know how fast they can disappear from school, the boy has gone missing a few times for up to 45 minutes when allowed to go to the bathroom alone.
Before school was mandatory, kids would be poor dirt farmers, but at least then, they had something they could do without an education. Pretty sad.
You'd think there would be something in the Constitution preventing people from being punished for the acts of others. Quite possibly an appeal would be successful, but it would cost a lot of money.
"wizardry"?when the say that he's "fired" do they mean burned at the steak?Ok, so all of us see the absolute stupidity in both these stories. So how is it that the officials who have perpetrated these too injustices not only feel they are in the right but also don't seem to have to suffer any intervention from peers or superiors?
actually not all of us, i totally agree with them YES IM KIDDING. but i cant see the stupidity because neither page will load for me lol
I think the parent should be held accountable for his childs education!! I am a parent and I'm held accountable. It's my job to make sure they go to school and get an education!!If the kid ditches school all the time the parent should be held accoutable for not controlling the minor child...It's called real world guys. It sounds like they addressed the kids delinquency issue in court and tried to make the parent accountable and they didn't take the court order seriously..Granted this might be an extreme case of capital punishment by a judge, but nonetheless, the parent should be held accountable for the kids actions until they are 18...
I must re-read I guess. As this girl IS 18.
Is he being held accountable up until she turned 18 or for the fact that she didn't obtain her diploma AFTER she turned 18?
And then...at 17 kids can be tried as adults. Too many conflicts in our legal system.
hello fellow parentI would not expect to see a parent jailed for the delinquency of a child, expecially and over 18 adult daughter.There are laws here to address the parent's responibilities regarding Childrens' school attendance. I know because I got the call witn my boy's mother had allowed his attendance to slip. However, I was not going to end up in jail, that's for damn sure.Parents are responsible for children. 18yr olds are considered "mature students" and can write their own abscence notes. Even if the original issue started before she was 18, what on earth does the court hope to accomplish by screwing over the dad? Possibly they're suggesting that he should have beat her? confined her?
And now this parent has to go to jail... this means no income.. possible loss of his job.. do we forclose on his house? reposses his car?.... because this bitch wouldn't go to school?

And the other article with the delinquent daughter, also stupid. She even admitted that her wrong doing was all her fault but somehow, punishing the dad is supposed to prove something.
Dee dee dee.
Man I tell ya. Makes me wonder if I would want to maintain any custody of my kid if any of them acted like that! Though, I think my kids know that I am not afraid of the authorities, and that I would use them to my advantage if they ever pulled stuff like that.My daughter says she is going to call the police all the time, and I just tell her that what they will do is put her in a "safer" home, (foster care) until they sort it out, then they will see I am just being a good mom, and send her back to me and I could use the vacation...she is starting to threaten that less and less.
Yes, it appears the father is being punished for not enforcing something he had no legal means of enforcing.
If I drop my kid off at school, watch her walk into the building and then find out that she went right out the back door....how is that my fault? What about the school? Shouldn't they be held responsible since they let her leave? Ultimately it should fall on the girl. She made the choice to skip school and she should deal with the consequences. Throw her ass in jail and see fast she goes to get her diploma.
Me president?Holy fuck! THAT is a scarey thought!suer some shit would be better, but if you think Im beyond corruption... you really dont know jack shit about me
what you have to recall is they are appling the same rules as child support.My son is 18 in september, but does not graduate till May of next year. Im still paying support till then.after support runs out I expect hsi mother to put his ass on the street, then Ill be paying support by him living with me. Id prefer that all along. Your responisble for your childs education till they GRADUATE or turn 18, what ever comes last. I dont agree withteh story, but parents need to be held accountable to some degree for what thier kids do and dont do.
I recently got a fine issued to me by my sons school.
Why?
he was late to calss.
a brand new fucking school, built to replace the old one that was too small. Its smaller than teh one they tore down!
He has to walk form portables 200 yards offthe main building to the building and then upstairs to the opposite side of the building for the next class!
he carries his boosk from both classes because he has no time to stop at his locker. he was late, fuck oh dear,and ina lock down! a fucking lock down??? they lock all the class room doors and write up allkids still in any halls and send fines to thier parents.
The teacher admits to pulling the door closed on him when he was 2 feet outside of it and the bell was still ringing.
Guess who blew the fuck up and went straight to teh school district supertnedant? thast right ME :laughing:
There willbe no fine, and that teacher has warning now, pull shit with my son, Ill ebat your ass in your class in front of the kids, you wont be the first one Iv done it to, and you wont be the last. I go to jail, you go to the hospital, whos shoes would yo rather be in?
Fucking schools, dipshit bastards.
I can see if a kid is hanging out and fucking off, but some common sense has to be used.
Child support until 19 is ONLY if the kid is still in school. Anyway, I do agree that parents have to be somewhat accountable for their kids, but this one is a bit to far.And since the last time I chimed in on this, my kid got a 3 day bus suspension. You don't get 3 days for a first warning...So, now, I have a kid who is under hard labor to pay the $12 a day it is going to cost me to drive her to school...if they would let me, I would keep her home and let her try on some more of "the way you make a living WITHOUT an education!!"
