Is it really? Whoa, I had better read up on the liturature for that one. Any OSS student I have recieves a 0 for the day he/she is absent from my class per school policy. I suppose I should consult a lawyer on that one if I am breaking the law, but what good would it do. Seems to me that parents and students get to make all of the rules these days anyways. Schools hand out rules of conduct, coaches hand out contracts and nobody has a problem until a kid knowingly violates the rules and all of the sudden the rules become too harsh. I am glad you son will get to finish his season Richard. If it were my school, he would lose a quarter of his season for the same violation.
