My daughter’s class is doing a non-educational, all-day field trip to a place we aren’t thrilled about. We asked if we can just keep her home for the day instead, since all the other kids are getting an excused absence for this trip.

Not only did the school deny our request for an excused absence, they also informed us that if she missed one more day of school this year, it puts her over a threshold and she would need to attend summer school.

My daughter is a straight A student and a president in the student body.
