<BR><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>Sounds like you are very experienced at
having tardy kids.....what kind of a parent are you? You do not want your kids
in so many days of school and you complain when you bring'em late......For
those who want to know where Garland Texas is, it is the place where Hank Hill
lives "Arland" is the way "Garland sounds when pronounced in a heavy Texas
accent like Dale the Dead Bug guy talks. In one episode of King Of The Hill, I
saw Keith's house in the background-cartoon form of course.</FONT> <BR><FONT

size=2><TT>Same here, but the school district keeps moving the date up. It's a
huge<BR>political issue regarding how many days the students have to be in
school<BR>for required funding and when the teachers want off for Christmas,
etc.<BR>Personally I wish it was like it used to be, after Labor
Day.<BR><BR>Things are crazy these days, if your child misses too many days
the school<BR>looses funding, so when your kid misses (or is tardy) the
school's main<BR>concern isn't for the child not being educated, it's for
their own financial<BR>interests. They also count three tardies as an absence,
so after about five<BR>tardies the parent gets a nasty letter stating that if
there are any further<BR>tardies you'll have to appear in court and explain to
the judge why your<BR>child is tardy so much and could have to pay a fine to
as much as $1000.<BR><BR>Keith<BR><BR>----- Original Message ----- <BR>From:
