@brutamerica: The Lawrence County School System in Tennessee will no longer accept doctor’s notes to excuse student absences, sparking concern among some parents. #schoolpolicy #tennessee #educationnews #attendance #parenting #lawrencecounty Journalist: Camille Guinevere Smith
Take your kids out of the school system and show them who makes the decisions. I did. The public school system cares about making a profit not educating kids. If they care so much then how does 12 years of school only land you the abilty to work fast food or factory work

I will trust a doctor about health more than an I would trust an elementary school administration about health.

Schools overstepping as always! I am the parent. I decide if my child needs to be home. This is insane!

Then they’ll come in sick, get other kids sick and get teachers sick. We literally want your kid to come in feeling well and not sick. They never learn anything anyways if they’re not feeling well and just are miserable getting through the day.

More efforts to control folks. Doctor’s notes for illnesses are not the reason for chronic absenteeism.

If he thinks that builds work ethic he needs a regular job these kids stay calling out and coming late. And if the doctors note is lint reliable then what is. So send them to school with fevers, vomiting and diarrhea. Got it.

This is good and it’s doable ( exceptions like they said for chronic illnesses) BUT there are parents that love taking vacations during school so 🤷🏻♀️

So are they pro life or just pro control? We’re saying “f- sick kids” now? Y’all expecting parents to send their sick kids to school to infect everyone else including teachers? Smh. These people make zero sense. I’m sick and tired

These schools make it impossible for kids to be sick. If ur kid has a fever subbosed to stay home til 24hrs fever free can’t do that anymore cause u would have to take them to the dr EVERYTIME

This is a reality in Indiana unfortunately. Doctors notes, any sort of family related issue, even if the nurse sends you home it’s an unexcused absence.

"Exemptions will still be made for verified chronic illness" and how will they verify without a doctors note 😭😭😭😭

This recently became a law in Indiana as well. But they also added that a school nurse can send your child home because they are sick and it's not excused either.

is school of choice a thing in Tennessee? sure would be a shame if majority of parents took their kids to a different school

Passing this after we've all lived through a global pandemic just seems incredibly backward.

Parents need to collectively remove their children from public schools and start a Co-Op homeschool program within their communities. The government overreach isn’t going to stop until we as a society make it stop.

This is how the whole state of Iowa now operates. If you’re absent, you’re absent - it doesn’t matter why. If 9 days per half year, they notify the county attorney.

It’s almost like TN schools want to create submissive workers bees instead of educating humans

Lots of places are doing this sort of thing. It's all because of funding. Schools suck.
