The Facebook Effect: Amy

When we were looking for schools for our kids last year, the parochial schools were not concerned about the law or any reporting required by it. The public school administrators were very honest about their concerns. One administrator told us that our kids were not welcome in that district if they were going to miss a significant number of days to participate in a national theater production tour. She stated, in writing, that the absences could negatively impact standardized test results and therefore were unacceptable.
