School sends poor students home.

I don't know the full story but I'm sure there are other options that could have been taken, assuming this wasn't just a miscommunication. Make her "volunteer" five hours of her time to do something productive for the school. Sending her home doesn't make any sense.

Community service is the other option. In the case of the girl highlighted, one of the books is over a year "overdue". plenty of time to remedy the situation but then again, how did she register last year? Is there a two book threshhold? I just don't find myslef having a whole lot of sympathy and then i feel bad about that. For a start, registration is two weeks before class starts. Why didn't she register and find out the problem then? maybe parents' inattention to school procedures and communication, but at that age, they really should be starting to take some responsibility for themselve, shouldn't they?

My guess is that someone was paying attention to book fines this year at registration while no one did last year. Seems like miscommunication across the board.

Students. Around ten were sent home.

Doughty said when she went to pay Ellisha’s fine later that day, Pioneer staff told her about 10 students were sent home on the first day because of outstanding obligations.
