mom(?) says they didn't receive 4 letters and and an email the district say they sent....

I suspect the principal got exasperated and made some (ill-advised) comment like "there is no point you being here" and that was interpreted as "go home".....

I think this whole story comes about because the social worker is an attention ho.

MANY students, of any age, NEVER EVER get any notices about anything until it directly affects them...typically at registration time when they learn of the 'hold' on their account.

When they get a little older, they don't receive any notices until they don't get their "refund" check, or they find they've been deregistered from their classes, or until they get a nasty letter from the Attorney General's office because their account has to be turned over according to law. Funny how an envelope from the school doesn't have nearly the impact as a letter from the AG.

Then they cry "No one TOLD me..."

edit: in this case I am mostly doubting the mother of the student not getting any notice. I don't believe it for a second.

Bold mine ... Thats another issue, if true.

Seems like the lesson was learned.

Oh you see, monster was just lamenting the girl's situation, as in, "Oh, that poor girl got sent home!"

Around here, response is usually triggered by the "you will be sent to collections" sticker.

No doubt it's true -my daughter (theoretically) also has to take the AATA bus home at the end of the regular school day and she's 13.

So, the mother has her head so far in the ground she doesn't know that AAPS no longer busses all high school students home at the end of their regular school day? (Part of this year's budget cuts). Many students are required to use AATA buses. I do not think her daughter is at all as high on her priority list as she makes out, otherwise she'd already have raised this concern, no? And given that the girl knew how to get home, I doubt this is the first time she's been out on her own. And a 16yo taking an AATA bus in the middle of the day is hardly a safety issue. Living in Hikone is, though.

Strikes me this is a clusterfuck of attention hos and professional victims.

Cartman: Mr. Garrison, why do poor people smell like sour milk?
Mr. Garrison: I don't know, Eric, they just do.

That's probably really why they sent her home AND why they wouldn't transport her.


:bolt:

I'm surprised none of the educators here have recommended giving the poor students a remedial class in good study habits.

Because all of the educators here have been laid off.

meh, behavior modification.

Public school might have a hard time defending it in a court.

Private school?, get a job....
