Seriously...what is wrong with parents?

My two challenged students (very challenged) are absent allllllll the time. It is really ridiculous the excuses they give and I am so sick of it. I am sick of parents who don't take responsibility. I am sick of parents who suck. I am sick of dead beats who do NOTHING to encourage, help, or nurture their child. I am so SICK of it. I go two steps forward with THEIR child and than they pull them out for two,three, four, SIX days! My goodness. And for what you ask? Laundry, court, no one could bring them, the dog is sick, or whatever other lame excuse they have. When I was little I did not stay home unless I was puking or bleeding. Seriously. EDUCATION is important and it starts in K. Mandatory or NOT. I am venting....I better go before words start flying---!@#
