If you teach in a public school, what can
be done to hold parent's accountable? At
our school, we have discussed this topic on
many occassions. We cannot deny services
to the children. We cannot keep them from
our class. We cannot educate or treat the
child of a responsible any different than a
child or a non responsible parent. The law
guarantees a free, appropriate public
education. There are no string attached.

If a parent is not fulfilling their
responsibility, there is nothing we can do.
