<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">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 face="sans-serif">For the record...Keith has not much
of an accent....Buddy thinks he's a Yankee...like Lance.</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>
