Why is NCLB insisting upon holding SCHOOLS accountable for student attendance and drop-outs? Shouldn't that be the PARENTS' job? If parents aren't around, we provide before-school and after-school care, breakfast, and lunch. If students come to school without supplies, like the outrageously priced #2 pencil and paper, teachers provide them. If students have emotional issues, we provide counseling. Let's not forget our ancillary purpose: If students are uneducated, we provide education. I would think the VERY least NCLB could hold parents accountable for is getting their children to school. Perhaps even on time?
