If you make your child go to school, you really should go to the police station and turn yourself in by your logic.
Wow, you really are confused. There is nothing in our law, Constitution or anything at all that would trump me getting my kids an education. Quit swinging wildly. Think a minute before replying.
It made us the country we are. I have no idea what point you are trying to make and I kind of doubt you do either. It's exactly what the founders wanted. The government not being able to tell you what you must believe.
My point is that children do not have all of the same rights we do. If they did and your child told you he was going to spend the night at his friend's house, you couldn't stop him or you'd be arrested.
Wow, you have charter schools all over the place? Personally I think you are making all of this up. Situations like this do happen and we have discussed it but in your case I don't believe it.
I really don't care what you think.. perhaps that's the problem.
I'm not looking for a fight the kid is doing this because he's lazy for the most part. I am NOT going to cause a stink because you feel the need to contact the school. I'm sure that this is something the teacher told him that he has to do & that's about the extent of it. Get over it because I'm not going to post the name of the school. Again don't like it don't care.

So you thought it important to start a thread over your lazy kid?
Much ado about nothing. Tell the kid that he has to follow the rules of his charter school....Stand....When he pays his own tuition, he can sit and face the consequences. IMO He is much too young to be taking any sort of political stand.
And, where is his Dad's input.....He is living with his Dad.....Have Dad decide how to handle this.
Meanwhile do not feed him anymore BS about Mean ole Gov't...."You can't do whatever you want" why radicalize him....Sounds like someone already is. Let him keep his illusions about life and liberty and the pursuit of happiness, he'll be old and cynical soon enough.
Besides....No one has ever been able to do just whatever they want....it is called society. No smoking came about because the majority of folks wanted smoking rules/laws...that's just one example you used. And, I'm pretty sure that you can live off-grid, on your own land.
Why are you so against the values this country was founded upon?
Aha, he sees the flag as the government. A big overbearing authoritarian abuser, okey dokey, I can relate. However, a lot of folks see the flag as the people. Or, see the flag as the government where the government is the people. Yup, I'd encourage him to move on, too much drama for a sixth grader.
"The republic" certainly IS the government. No two ways about it.
So you thought it important to start a thread over your lazy kid?
Umm IF you read my OP then you would see that I didn't have all the facts right then. I mentioned it here because I thought it would be interesting topic nonetheless.
