In
Short.
Upon review
of the law,
we find
absolutely
no reason to
require an
attendance
report be
submitted to
the
school.
There is no
reason to
ever take
the most
restrictive
interpretation
of a law
possible,
especially
when it is a
piece of
silliness if
you examine
closely the
philosophy
of
DaySpring.
Education is
no more and
no less than
an integral
part of the
raising of,
and the
responsibility
for, a
child.
You are
raising ... educating
... your
child every
day, and you
are
responsible
for that
child,
regardless
of where
they are or
what they
are
doing.
There are no
absences
from that
responsibility.
Should you
need a
transcript
at any time
or for any
reason
(prior to
high school
graduation),
you must
furnish us
with a
complete
report of
ALL days of
"academic
attendance"
-- as
commonly
defined by
those who
limit their
definition
of education
to that used
in
government
schools.
As you
know,
institutionalized
schools will
want to know
what days
you were
"doing
school".
At that
time, you
will have to
be able to
compartmentalize
the raising
of your
child to fit
the expected
definition
and report
at least 140
to 185 days
you were
"doing
school"
... or
alternately,
report 365
days and be
willing, if
called upon,
to
explain.
Decide now,
and plan
accordingly.
Should you
ever
encounter
any legal
difficulties
(custody
problems,
for
example),
you the
parent --
and not DSA
-- will be
held
responsible
by any legal
entity that
becomes
involved.
DSA may
become
involved in
some way in
supplying
information,
but if
attendance
records are
required as
a part of
that
encounter,
you must be
able to
supply any
and all
records
needed for
your
protection
or
defense.
Plan
accordingly.
Okay.
So it wasn't
25 words or
less.
Maybe this
then.
We
don't need
no stinking
reports.
