The actions of this school system in Tennessee is ridiculous. A child missing from school requires the parent and school to work in unison not in conflict to result in the most favorable resolution.

Nothing says that a student has to be there for 180 days. Now if they miss 20 consecutive days they can be kicked out of school. @LiberalDonaldTrumpAnd just to add this only applies to public schools due to state funding. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to me if the kids are already missing school, that is symptomatic of things not being right at home. And the solution is to arrest the parents? Is that going to solve the problem? What is going to happen to the child when they are arrested? Homeless? Shifted to a distant relative, assuming any are willing and able to take them? Put into foster care? What amazes me about this country and its citizens is how decisions are made without any kind of serious thought. If a kid is routinely missing school, a more rational approach would be to determine why. If it is due to parental neglect, then, perhaps, for the good of the child he/she should be removed from the parents home by the courts. If there is some other issue at play, then seek another solution. Arresting parents should be restricted only to situations of serious child abuse or neglect. I thought conservatives wanted to remove the yolk of government from the backs of the people. And yet, in deep red state, Tennessee, parents are to be arrested for not sending their children to school? Something seems profoundly ironic here to me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It shouldn't be a surprise Politicians are full of hypocrisy and frauds so it only makes sense the conservative party would want to claim they want limited government involvement then decide to do something completely different when it comes time to stand by the principles Sad thing is i would think maybe a honest politician would garner a ton of support if their was one out there but they probably wouldn't make it out of the primaries 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would think that if a kid is missing a lot of school the rational thing would be to try and resolve this issue to give the kid a fighting chance at life. Punishing the parents without doing anything for the well being of the child does not give the child a fighting chance at success in life!

Punishing the parents without doing anything for the well being of the child does not give the child a fighting chance at success in life! I do agree Darter. Yes parents are in charge of taking care of their kids but if for whatever they are deemed unfit and the kids are taken away there has to be some sort of recourse for the child. You cant just throw the kid out in the wind and than when said child fails its societies fault. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess the politicians hope by the time things go ugly from their decision making they will have already collected their cash and gotten out of office This political system is broken because of greed and power hungry morons Maybe it's time for a government getting cleaned up from top to bottom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think yes there is a rush to judgement to take these parents away from their kids. I dont know the right answer to this situation but its sad. You would think that there are far worse situations for taking the kids away than this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarterBlue Posted March 25, 2018 Report Share Posted March 25, 2018 13 minutes ago, Sportsnut said: Logical response. It saddens me that so many decisions are made that seem totally lacking in logic. When my mother was a child, her mother routinely kept her from going to school on Fridays. Why? My grandmother was a higgler. She, and her husband, depended on the income she earned from buying stuff at the market, which she would then retail in the little storefront shop she maintained in her community. Her husband's income, earned from being a kitchen assistant at the Myrtle Bank Hotel, was just not enough to maintain a household with nine children. Friday was market day. As her oldest child, my mother was expected to get up at 3 am in the morning and accompany her to the market so she could assist her in bringing the food supplies purchased home. This process took the entire morning. So school on Friday was not possible without the home falling apart. Now it is an indictment on society as existed in Jamaica at that time that my mother was deprived of an education because of her circumstances, as her schooling ended at the 7th grade level. For surely she was as intelligent as me. But under the circumstances, if applied to the discussion at hand, her hardworking parents, who were doing their best to keep a family intact, would have been arrested in Tennessee? Please. Give me a break! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those people are not hard to find. Their thoughts tell on them. As an analogy, I give you the Klan burning a cross in my next door neighbors yard when I was 10. Many won't think that has anything to do with how I feel today. Unimaginable for them so they don't see the logic behind my thoughts and feelings. I know what you mean because my mom was the oldest girl of 8 and she had to forgo her education for the same reason, to help grandma and grand dad hold it together in the 50's. It takes an exceptional human being to have understanding of another's situation when they have not walked in their shoes (or had close relatives or friends that walked there). I guess Jesus on the cross summed it up best, "Forgive them Lord, they know not what they do." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly everyone has the ability to develop empathy if it isn't a natural part of who they are. It only takes effort. I agree it is easier for some for sure. Some are wired differently. To me It takes an exceptional person to not to try to empathize. Exceptionally stubborn. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its the 'whatever the reason' thing we both recognize is absent. I just don't think it requires an exceptional person in order to close that gap. But for some it may take an exceptional effort.
