YOU HAVE GIVEN UP YOUR RIGHTS AND DESERVE WHATEVER HAPPENS.

While I understand and agree with the point, this line gives me an outstanding opportunity to point something out...

I haven't 'given up' my rights... they have been usurped, suborned and marginalized by folks in big city dominated venues acting on behalf of their welfare constituents.

I don't like the 'divvy'.. and we're getting to a point where the dealer needs a bullet. This week, I've discovered I'm not alone. Others... many others have noticed the disparity between what used to be called 'small town america' and the urban crawlers. There's a fight brewing... and it's about time.

Carry on.

Sounds like they have a lot of freee time.

Chances are, the reality will be that principals will accept a copy of the appointment card.  It's just going to cause more paperwork & headaches than it's worth.

All that for a state who's schools score dead last in the nation.  Ours are 49th...since most schools are in small towns where everone knows everyone else, it won't be an issue here.

See what happens when you allow the "teacher's union" run the education system? They ran it right into the ground, and now it is such a train wreck that it is nearly beyond repair.

When I started school the school year was 164 days. We started school the day after Labor Day, and got out the week before Memorial Day. We now have a school year that exceeds 180 days, they start the first week of August and get out the first week of June. And they learn 1/2 as much. They come out more poorly educated and more unprepared, and every year is worse. We have "teachers" who want to teach children "self esteem" and more feel good drivel. These "educators" choose the most piss poor curriculum I have ever seen in my life. My daughter graduated in 2005 from high school. I THOUGHT her books and the curriculum were as bad as I could possibly expect. HAH, my son is in the 8th grade. It got worse. I've never seen so much dumbed down irrelevant CRAP in my life. It's no wonder intelligent children are bored and disinterested in school. They have no interest in getting dumber.

There is no discipline and no education in the public education system any more. It's a travesty and a joke.

I used to teach college english.  Same there.  At work, I try to manage cashiers and baggers at a grocery store.  The mindset is appalling among a few.  And, it is a few compared to the whole.  Self-esteem is a result of performing estimable acts.  Nothing more.  And humility ask of us to give credit for us performing those acts to those who taught us right from wrong.

Ask the principal for his Medical and Dental qualifications.

hang.. the people who would enroll their children in a public school have given up their rights...  nothing has been taken from them except the same money that EVERYONE ELSE gets screwed out of every day in order to support the saintly teachers union and their mush headed child.

I have not given up my rights..  I may still have to pay for the idiots children that are being put in the democrats idea of a school system.. just like everyone else but....

My granddaughter is being educated on my dime... not theirs and ....  you democrats.. you lovers of socialism and democracy..   you don't get any frigging say in it at all.   

I wanna take her out to just go to the range to shoot guns..  that is my business and I don't have to give any damn reason.

She flunks cause I took her out too much?  It doesn't cost you commies a cent..  I pay.

So I have to ask the principal and get her permission to take my daughter to the dentist. 

Nope. Just for it to be an excused absence. No permission required.
