O.C.G.A. 20-2-690.1 (2010)
20-2-690.1. Mandatory education for children between ages six and 16


(a) Mandatory attendance in a public school, private school, or home school program shall be required for children between their sixth and sixteenth birthdays. Such mandatory attendance shall not be required where the child has successfully completed all requirements for a high school diploma.

(b) Every parent, guardian, or other person residing within this state having control or charge of any child or children during the ages of mandatory attendance as required in subsection (a) of this Code section shall enroll and send such child or children to a public school, a private school, or a home study program that meets the requirements for a public school, a private school, or a home study program; and such child shall be responsible for enrolling in and attending a public school, a private school, or a home study program that meets the requirements for a public school, a private school, or a home study program under such penalty for noncompliance with this subsection as is provided in Chapter 11 of Title 15, unless the child's failure to enroll and attend is caused by the child's parent, guardian, or other person, in which case the parent, guardian, or other person alone shall be responsible; provided, however, that tests and physical exams for military service and the National Guard and such other approved absences shall be excused absences. The requirements of this subsection shall apply to a child during the ages of mandatory attendance as required in subsection (a) of this Code section who has been assigned by a local board of education or its delegate to attend an alternative public school program established by that local board of education, including an alternative public school program provided for in Code Section 20-2-154.1, regardless of whether such child has been suspended or expelled from another public school program by that local board of education or its delegate, and to the parent, guardian, or other person residing in this state who has control or charge of such child. Nothing in this Code section shall be construed to require a local board of education or its delegate to assign a child to attend an alternative public school program rather than suspending or expelling the child.

(c) Any parent, guardian, or other person residing in this state who has control or charge of a child or children and who shall violate this Code section shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and, upon conviction thereof, shall be subject to a fine not less than $25.00 and not greater than $100.00, imprisonment not to exceed 30 days, community service, or any combination of such penalties, at the discretion of the court having jurisdiction. Each day's absence from school in violation of this part after the child's school system notifies the parent, guardian, or other person who has control or charge of a child of five unexcused days of absence for a child shall constitute a separate offense. After two reasonable attempts to notify the parent, guardian, or other person who has control or charge of a child of five unexcused days of absence without response, the school system shall send a notice to such parent, guardian, or other person by certified mail, return receipt requested. Public schools shall provide to the parent, guardian, or other person having control or charge of each child enrolled in public school a written summary of possible consequences and penalties for failing to comply with compulsory attendance under this Code section for children and their parents, guardians, or other persons having control or charge of children. The parent, guardian, or other person who has control or charge of a child or children shall sign a statement indicating receipt of such written statement of possible consequences and penalties; children who are age ten years or older by September 1 shall sign a statement indicating receipt of such written statement of possible consequences and penalties. After two reasonable attempts by the school to secure such signature or signatures, the school shall be considered to be in compliance with this subsection if it sends a copy of the statement, via certified mail, return receipt requested, to such parent, guardian, other person who has control or charge of a child, or children. Public schools shall retain signed copies of statements through the end of the school year.

(d) Local school superintendents in the case of private schools or home study programs and visiting teachers and attendance officers in the case of public schools shall have authority and it shall be their duty to file proceedings in court to enforce this subpart.

(e) An unemancipated minor who is older than the age of mandatory attendance as required in subsection (a) of this Code section who has not completed all requirements for a high school diploma who wishes to withdraw from school shall have the written permission of his or her parent or legal guardian prior to withdrawing. Prior to accepting such permission, the school principal or designee shall convene a conference with the child and parent or legal guardian within two school days of receiving notice of the intent of the child to withdraw from school. The principal or designee shall make a reasonable attempt to share with the student and parent or guardian the educational options available, including the opportunity to pursue a general educational development (GED) diploma and the consequences of not having earned a high school diploma, including lower lifetime earnings, fewer jobs for which the student will be qualified, and the inability to avail oneself of higher educational opportunities. Every local board of education shall adopt a policy on the process of voluntary withdrawal of unemancipated minors who are older than the mandatory attendance age. The policy shall be filed with the Department of Education no later than January 1, 2007. The Department of Education shall provide annually to all local school superintendents model forms for the parent or guardian signature requirement contained in this subsection and updated information from reliable sources relating to the consequences of withdrawing from school without completing all requirements for a high school diploma. Such form shall include information relating to the opportunity to pursue a general educational development (GED) diploma and the consequences of not having earned a high school diploma, including lower lifetime earnings, fewer jobs for which the student will be qualified, and the inability to avail oneself of higher educational opportunities. Each local school superintendent shall provide such forms and information to all of its principals of schools serving grades six through twelve for the principals to use during the required conference with the child and parent or legal guardian.

I do not offer answers, however I will share my concerns. We, teachers, are under the gun today. Article after article uses pejorative language like "failing schools" to describe performance data in schools located in communities that wrestle with high percentages of poverty, English language learning and other assorted factors that are part an parcel of poverty (which most of us simply cannot identify with).

In reality, most of us assert (and there is decades of data to support our position), the child's culture (which includes homelife, the values taught at home both directly and indirectly) and access to the opportunities exerts a far greater influence on educational outcomes

Therefore, as a teacher, I can assure you that students who are chronically tardy or truant are not able to benefit from my instruction and are therefore not learning. I will not accept the responsibility for their test scores when their parents chronically fail to get them to school.

Uppity cunt.
 
The way "A Virginia Mom," tells it, similar laws are not likely to get her out of her house any earlier. She already seems to know it's important, and yet it still hasn't been happening.

There are other factors specific to this case, including the fact that the mother and all three children have diagnosed disabilities such as ADHD and other psychological issues.

THAT!!!
most his teachers know what I deal with in my everyday life raising him cause they deal with it also to a degree.
honestly I dont give a fuk about the courts and school attendance lady.
they go to school everyday and doing my best to juggle business, home life w/ little or no help.
just matter of time before I blow a gasket

if only it was that easy
James Lehman:
A day with a child who has Oppositional Defiant Disorder is a series of battles in an undeclared war. It starts when they wake up, continues at breakfast, intensifies when they have to get dressed, and doesn’t end until they fight with you over bedtime.

Never heard of him.

Tell em' to make a video.
 
Letters on how to improve society from 8th graders:

"Corporations are bad, they do things like cut down trees, then put up McDonalds, I mean, what's up with that? They should be doing things to help society"

"Gas prices should be cheaper, companies should make them cheaper, because everyone uses it, so it should be cheap"
 
interesting tomato. It's good that they're thinking something but sounds like they haven't had much schooling on how those things work. and they should > geography
 
the future is fukd
think it started w/ my generation
had a 28 yr old guy tell me the other day that I dont pay him enough for him to produce more work then he does...
this was after me making it clear that he needs to tighten up and stay off the phone and fuking off on my time.
took 8 hrs for him to do a at most 3 hr job

so I fired his ass and told him good luck w/ that attitude.
not the way it works
you show more effort and learn more, work steady w/out fukn off and playing on phone then you get paid more
 
reno cool

It's interesting that they are in 8th grade and don't know to write or form proper thoughts.

Tomato is in a gangsta's paradise.

:hahaha:
every public highschool in my city was gangstas paradise :greencheck:
I went from catholic school from K -8 to shell shocked going into the 9th.
last week former HS was put on lockdown I heard
it was routine during my time there.
gang brawls were a main attraction:punchface:
 
4% of Tomato's school is White students, 86% free and reduced lunch, school is in Oakland, have had 2 lock downs this year (middle school)

Tomato got a student back from pending expulsion last week. This student was up for expulsion for dealing drugs. The expulsion didn't go through. His return was delayed as he was sent to juvenile hall for grand theft auto and home burglary.

He is 13.

His father is incarcerated. While he was serving his 2 week Juvenile Hall sentence, his mother decided that 13 years was enough, took the daughter and moved to another town. The kid now lives with his 18 year old gang banger brother.
