Criminal or Poor Form?

This is a problem but not something that government needs to write laws about. It is a problem that schools, teachers, parents, and students need to address without an attendant buracracy. A friendly communicative school administration and teacher will go a long way towards encouraging a friendly communicative parent and an eager student. Perhaps an agreed upon day and time (yes, maybe even not a day and time during the school week - apologies to teachers) would work better than a day decreed by school buracracy. Communication is a lost art, not a lost area in need of legislation. Teachers and administrators can, however, take a leading non-legislated role and demonstrate character rather than penalizing it's lack. This is simply a ridiculous bill. But that sort of thinking seems to follow the unfortunate No Child Left Behind (or allowed to get ahead or allowed to be different in any way or allowed to have problems in their lives or....) idea; and is incredibly Orwellian.
This bill is ridiculous.

And are the teachers going to jail too, if a parent requests a conference that isn't scheduled or if the teacher fails to appear at a meeting and/or reschedules?

Summary


The bill would create a Class C misdemeanor if a parent fails to respond to a teacher's request for a parent teacher conference, or schedules a conference and fails to attend.
