We Don't Need No Education

My son has been sick for a few days and hasn't been able to attend school. I went to the school to see about getting his homework so he wouldn't fall behind. I was told that teachers do not like to collect and give out homework for children who have missed class regardless of the reason...

That's right, let's punish the children...

It astounds me that a parent who has taken the time to show interest in the education of their child is rebuffed in this matter and yet we are constantly told that parents aren't controlling or have enough of an influence in their children's lives.

This saddens me.
