Academic Language Week 29 - School Conferences

Parents should not face jail time for missing their child's school conference. That is really dumb They cant just lock up the parents for missing the conference. Parents are really busy and sometimes cant do everything.

One reason is because the parents are really busy. Im sure if parents had the choice of getting off work or miss work to go to their childs conference they would. Some parents SEEK a way off of work. But sometimes there is just no possible way.

Another reason is that there is more than one way to TRANSFER a conference if the parent cant make it. I feel like if the parent makes an effort to see how their child is doing in school than that is good enough. Parents dont need to consequenced if they cant make it.

Additionally, some parents don't have the financial RESOURCES to make time in their busy schedule because many parents live paycheck to paycheck.
