(16,926 posts)You've taken a completely separate tangent here. I'm not going to argue that it has become very difficult in today's world to achieve economic success, but most agree that doing so without the foundation of a HS diploma is all but impossible. If a student or parent deems the cost/benefit of high school graduation not worth the stress from privacy concerns or other reasons, I guess any efforts to force attendance becomes problematic for them.
I am simply stating that if a student and their parents have agreed to remain in school for whatever reason, the rules (and the law, in most places) require them to show up when expected.
I'm not comfortable with the level of inspection that the NSA, FBI, Homeland Security and local police have been able to grab over the past decade. But this is not in the same ballpark.
