You are supposed to be in school.

From Tennessee statutes:

49-6-3001. (2)

(c) (1) Every parent, guardian or other legal custodian residing within this state having control or charge of any child or children between six (6) years of age and seventeen (17) years of age, both inclusive, shall cause such child or children to attend public or non-public school, and in event of failure to do so, shall be subject to the penalties hereinafter provided. The LEA in which a transfer student seeks to enroll may require disclosure and copies of the student's records in accordance with the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (20 U.S.C. § 1232g et seq.), including, but not limited to, disciplinary records from educational agencies where the student was previously enrolled.

Since she is married and the parents no longer have control of the child, does this still apply?

Her marriage, even though she is still a minor, emancipated her from her parents.

So even though no one here thinks her parents are all that bright, they are no longer responsible for her actions.

Too bad this child bride seems to think she is old enough to get married, but finds it difficult to get up and go to school. :rolleyes:
