Attendance

The attendance at this high school is awful! There are no repercussions for students missing school, no matter how much, as long as their parents excuse them. I feel there should be a limit to the amount of school a student is allowed to miss. I had one student at the beginning of the school year miss over two weeks because she went to Disney Land! Where I went to high school, if a student misses more than seven days of any class they lose credit for that class. The only way they can then get credit is if they make up the hours missed in Saturday School. I really keeps the absences down and students actually beg their parents not to make them miss any more school.
