*****
A soldier at the Bangor meeting said that when he took his
children from school early to say goodbye, he was told it
would be an unexcused absence.

My response has nothing to do with the issue at hand but
instead focuses on this example, which I believe to be a
spurious one.

Sure, there may (or many not) be stuff going on, but this
doesn't give an indication either way.

There are a number of schools that have very strict
attendance rules. I have been at schools where the
only "excused" absences were those signed by a doctor, for a
court date, etc.

(Note, I don't necessarily agree with this).

I would also wonder who the solider spoke to. Sometimes, you
talk to one person and you get the stock, canned answer, and
you get an administrator who sees reason.
