[QUOTE="Okie4570, post: 4098301, member: 15643"] Private schools do have specific drop off and pick up times, and most are capable of billing the parent if it becomes a problem. Parents don't want to pay extra so problem solved. Check out the attendance rates on some private schools sometime. Just because parents are paying $5k-$20k a year doesn't mean anything. Had a guy tell me the other day that his school doesn't have excused or unexcused absences anymore. You get 8 days per semester, whether you're gone for flu or a family cruise. Miss more than that, you go before an attendance committee and they evaluate your absences and determine whether or not you'll get credit for that semester or not. If it's excessive or ridiculous, theyll just tell you that you'll need to continue your education somewhere else and have a nice day. He said that has pretty much cured chronic absenteeism. Another perk of a private education. [/QUOTE]
