Parents Billed For Student Absences - "If You Play, Please Pay"?
Proof yet again that nobody loves their students (or their money) as much as the public school system. You don't owe anything when you put them in, so why should you when you take them out? Unfortunately, the public schools are a government-funded monopoly, meaning this sort of lunacy is bound to continue.

Ah, but that's the beautiful part! It's not a monopoly!
We have the glorious choice to homeschool our kids when the system gets us down.
Praise God for that!
I can say I understand the school division's point. Their hands are tied when they lose budget due to a broken system and they are doing what they can with what they've got to recoup some money. But it's a pretty sad system that forces craziness like this on a school.
And it's a pretty sad system that I'm quite happy not to be part of.
(Thanks for your blog, btw, you have lots of wise things to say and never fail to start great conversations here with your posts.)
Thanks, and I definitely understand your point. One of my own relatives works for a school district and is faced with the problem of students leaving his district for home education. I sympathize with his plight, but it was difficult to help him see that the system he was working under was not producing what gave the maximum benefit to the students as individuals.
I too am glad to be out of the system and off their radar. Let me educate my children in peace and society will benefit.
