Re: [OHS] American Power Plant Open House-TODAY!
B & T Simpson
Ok I have a major question for all of you that know the laws just a
thought, how in this country are millions of kids dropping out of school?
are their parents taken to court?
what about all of the pregnant girls that choose to drop out and care for
their children?
what do they go thru in order to drop out? do their parents have to send in
papers saying they are been homeschooled? do they have to be tested each
year and report to the state until they are 18?
now consider this, if the answer is no they do not, they just drop out no
questions asked (they are just a bad seed ) couldn't we then send our high
schoolers to school for a month or so and have them drop out and be free
from the entire system? and have them still homeschool and continue on the
way we homeschool without the hassle of sending in papers? now I know you
couldn't have them drop out of homeschool, that would be to obvious, but
what about dropping out of public school?
does anyone know the answers to these questions?
does anyone know the how old you have to be to get your ged?
does anyone know how these kids just drop out?
how does one graduate early from homeschool?
why are homeschoolers required to report to the state until the child is 18
and ps kids can graduate when they are 17? what about my child who started k
when she just turned 5 the day school started and will be 17 when her class
graduates from highschool? what if my child was held back in ps for a
year, do I consider her in that lower grade or the grade of the children of
her own age? and how does that work out?
just some thoughts to ponder for the day!!
from Tanya and Mary Ellen who think that if the state is willing to just let
kids drop out and claim they are just bad then why would they care that they
are at home learning????

The following is Washington State Law:
All schools are REQUIRED to:
Notify parents after their student's first unexcused absence.
Schedule a conference with parents after any second unexcused absence in a
month
File a petition in juvenile court after five unexcused absences in a
month or 10 in one school year.
If found in violation of the school attendance laws, parents, guardians
and/or students may be required to"
Pay $25 in fines for each day of unexcused absence from school
provide community service at the child's school
participate with the school and the child in a supervised plan for the
child's attendance at school
attend a conference or conferences scheduled to analyze the cause of the
child's absences.
The following are valid excuses for absences and tardiness, and will be
recorded as "excused absences".
1. Absences due to illness, health conditions, family emergency, religious
purposes or weather conditions that result in transportation services being
cancelled in a student's service area.
2. Participation in school-approved activities with the authorization of a
staff member.
3. Absences for parental approved activities with the authorization of the
school principal
4. Absences resulting from disciplinary actions or short term suspensions.
Now here's what I find ridiculous....
The bit about transportation being canceled. Here it's so wet that when we
have a winter freeze and it thaws, the put all these weight restrictions on
the roads. Which effectively shuts done the school buses running on the
smaller back roads. Because it's so wet, the roads will literally collapse
with the thaw and under the roads turns to mush. They can run on the main
roads... But, if you're in the boonies, you're screwed because
transportation wasn't cancelled, you just don't get the bus.... It's a huge
deal here when it happens because 90% of the parents have to take their
children to school and the line pulling up to any school is like a 30 minutes
to the front door. Everyone is an hour late for work.
Anyway, they are dead serious about this attendance policy here. I have
friends that pulled their kids out because of it. In one instance they
nailed one friend on the $25 a day fine thing for 7 days (she made less than
$600 a month) and she couldn't afford to send the kid to school anymore...
The kid would hide out in the barn till her mom left and then miss the bus
and go back home. They were drawing up the papers to have her do community
service (the parent, not the kid) at the school for 3 days a week for four
months, as if she didn't have to work.

it is possible

depends on how old they are
<what do they go thru in order to drop out?>
When I dropped out my mom signed a paper and that was it. (WA state)
<do their parents have to send in papers saying they are been

mine didn't, just signed me out
<do they have to be tested each year and report to the state until they are

not in WA or OR or ID (places I have lived)

Theoretically

if that is what you state allows, if that is how you did it before they
went to ps I would imagine sending them to ps wouldn't change that.

obvious? what is the point of these questions?
<does anyone know the answers to these questions?>
some of them
<does anyone know the how old you have to be to get your ged?>
I got mine at 16 in Oregon
<does anyone know how these kids just drop out?>
their parents let them or just don't care or they just do it
<how does one graduate early from homeschool?>
just do it.
<why are homeschoolers required to report to the state until the child is

and ps kids can graduate when they are 17?>
what kind of police state are you living in?

grades are arbitrary, meaningless, forget them.

just fine and dandy from where I stand

thanks for the pondering fodder.
<from Tanya and Mary Ellen who think that if the state is willing to just

because the state has to power trip over something. If they don't look busy
folks might realize they aren't necessary.

<<<The following is Washington State Law:>>>
Wow! I guess the laws in WA have changed quite a bit in the past 15 years.
I don't recall there ever being a problem with missing too many days except
not completing class time. My best friend missed plenty of days and I don't
think her parents even knew about it. Is it hard to hs there now? I pulled
my step son out of school in 1992 and there didn't seem to be a problem. I
filed a paper with the district office and proceeded to use the school at my
convenience for 3 months until I re-enrolled him. Well, anyway, Idaho is
nice.
