Update on Student with excused absences...

[warmhart86]

What is the name of your state? Texas

I just wanted to update everyone on the outcome of this case. I went before the school board and thier legal reps. They ruled that my interpretation of the Texas Education Code was correct. Since the school administrators had granted an "excused" absence, they counted the student present for accounting purposes and therefore could not punish the student by denying him an award based on perfect attendance.

thank you to all who responded.

Here is your post from your previous thread where after you posted this response, you locked it so no one could reply to you......

As I said before, you are correct I have recieved answeres to my question. I also admit that I do not like the answeres I have received. Please understand that I did not intend to disrespect any part of the legal industry. I simply meant that Homeguru was the only person that had disclosed that they were infact a lawyer. Non of the other replies listed that they were in any way a part of the legal field in thier profiles. (yes I took to the time to read the profiles). So with that said, what is a person to think?

As for "growing up", that was completely uncalled for. I am the adult, and I am acting as so. I did thank you for your advice as any adult should.

Again, thank you to everyone who was willing to give me thier advice. And to those that choose to spell check and grammar check.... I am sorry that you do not have better things to do with your talent.

Good Day.

You may have got your way, but you have not acted like an adult no matter how hard you stamp your feet. Your thanks were conditional. You only seem to like to argue without being mature enough to accept when you are wrong. In fact you open here claiming you were correct, when in fact, you were wrong. You were wrong on most of the issues, as you demonstrated, they were matters on school policy, not a matter of law. The appropriate venue was to appeal to the school board, not try to argue state law on this forum. This forum is not a VENT/RANT/SUPPORT GROUP. It is not a place for immature people who lock their thread because they don't like an objective explaination of the law. Getting your child out of finals is no real accomplishment.

Again, you are correct. This is not a forum for VENT/RANT/SUPORT GROUP. Again, I apologize for using this group as a "sounding board". As for being immature in closing my thread, that was not the case, I simply didn't wish to be "flamed" any further for being passionate about my stance on the issue. Which by the way, getting my child out of the exams was never the issue.

For the record, I do not believe nor endorse exemptions from final exams in school. I do believe that if we tell a child we are going to do something we should do it. Weather that thing is for or against thier favor, we should follow thru with what we say we are going to do. This was the issue I was fighting. Students at the school, not just my child, had followed all of the rules they had set and then they were going to go back on the promise they had made to the children. THAT was the issue.

Now, is there anything else you would like to "flame" me on? I will wait to see if there is anything else you wish to say before I end this thread.

Good Day

No one was flaming you.
You are the one who loves to fight over a non issue and then lock a thread to avoid anyone pointing out your defects.
That is immature.
