[QUOTE="RidgeHunter, post: 1710272, member: 4319"] That's totally ridiculous. The thing to do would have been to call the freaking parents and talk to them about the issue, maybe call them in for a meeting and explain the situation. That's how it would have been handeld a few short years ago until someone decided that school faculty should simply call the police to handle every issue they have with students and parents. Using the DA's office to inform parents they need to get their kids to school on time does nothing but sour the attitudes of both the parents and the children towards the school. When I was in school you'd either get a look and told to sit down and shutup if you walked in late, get written up if the teacher was a hardass, or if it happened too much the teacher/principal would call home and say [I]"Listen, Mr. Weatherby...your kid needs to get his ass to class on time. What's the deal?"[/I] Gah I hate what they've done to our schools. [/QUOTE]
