School sends poor students home.

[infinite monkey]

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.
