This kind of thing is an epidemic in Virginia, Not only are schools bullying parents, but local prosecutors and juvenile courts are complicit. The prosecutors bring unsustainable charges and the courts hold hearings in secret so other parents don’t know that they’re not alone. We are gathering information through the virginia freedom of information act, some of which can be found on our website at http://pisste.org. we also have a petition at change.org here: https://www.change.org/petitions/staunton-city-schools-stop-unjustified-prosecutions-of-parents-for-truancy#

You most certainly must be one not to complain about bullying, test scores, etc etc. Because the education police state should be able to do everything even when the kids aren’t there right?

Juan please read post under all the other stories on this site. There is a distrust of public teachers overall for the acts of few. Furthermore, we ask schools to solve every societal issue that comes down the pike; bullying, poverty, and health. Then blame them for not being able to educate our kids. What other job has that job description, especially when you consider most teachers make far less than other college graduates. Yes, I know it was their choice, but I think they wanted to go into education to help kids, not solve all of societies issues and get called out for every bad apple in the profession. So you see in order to fix the world the schools could use a little help from home, such as getting your kid to school on time!

the disrespect, distuptions, and whatever concerned and tired parent said schools should worry more about. Those are the same as the chronic tardiness. It is all disrespect and all a thumbing the nose at education. Usually its the same kids. Its the same problem.

what are you saying you sir should be focusing more on the health of the students or something that will benefit the students not something like this, because this is like a mouse compared to an elefhant.
( i dont mean to insult u or someone else but there are other things more important then this please take this as a warning to change your way of thinking)

there are other stuff more important then fighting for tardienes like gangs or dug problems. fighting for a mideameanor tardie is like fighting for a mideamenor for not bringing a pencil.
