A seventh-grader in California was threatened with arrest after missing three Zoom classes, his father says.
And under California law, the letter reads, that means his son is considered a truant."He can become a truant of the state and he could be arrested," Mastrov told CNN affiliate KGO-TV."I said, 'Are you going to come and try to arrest my son at my home, or fine me for not getting him to his Zoom class perfectly on time everyday?'"Mark Mastrov.
Oh the poor dear. Must be so traumatic having to sit at home in front of his computer & actually learn something. Maybe he should be coddled more. 🤪 Seems few parents teach personal responsibility, work ethic, self respect & accountability any more.😠
Home school is frustrating. Give the kids a break. Please!
thats some communist shit right there.
Kamala strikes again. She usually just has the parents arrested
CNN could you look at this?
Truancy is bullshit. The state doesn’t own your kids, however much they want to. Tyrants.
Good now everyone knows what teachers go through ! PARENTS START PARENTING YOUR KIDS!teachertwitter NYC DOE parenting ThursdayMotivation
School is school ... I read a story a Boy walking to school everyday to use the schools WiFi 🤷🏽♂️
FFS
Are truant officers still a thing?
There are thousands of lost students all over the country.
What a joke.
California forces millions of children to be truants for months, charges one for missing video bullshit for 3 days.
Now do why he wasn’t going to classes 🛑
I am so glad I don’t live in CA
digging up anything and everything as to not report about Joe Biden..more coming out every day
If he were to join Antifa, he’s be out on bail the next day.
And yet another reason people are feeling Cali.
R u kidding me. There’s a Pandemic. These kids r finding it hard enough. What idiot would add more stress. Give the kid a break, Mr Truant Officer. Ridiculous!!!
Poor parenting leeds to the Trump family.
US is just a police state
And? Daddy your child has to go to school. Doesn’t matter if it’s online or in person
That is ridiculous. What about reaching out and finding out why. Maybe mental health issues. Maybe technical issues. Maybe 100 other things. But threatening jail? Do lawmakers there hear themselves speak? Insanity!who voted those idiots in?
Kamala licking her lips
Welcome to 2020 were you can be arrested for missing zoom classes.
CA has zero truancy tolerance right now and honestly, it’s zoom. Have your ass in class.
School is school. Virtual or not. You dont show up, you’re marked absent, get enough and you’re truant. Now if there’s a problem with his computer or internet network, then it is BOTH the parent and students responsibility to alert the right people. ‘Nuff said.
Good.
Stupid
Just go to class... 7th grade is not hard DoTheRightThing
One must be in ‘school’ in order to be accused of truancy. Involuntarily being home and forced to do schooling there is NOT being in school as defined in the statute.
Make him attend classes or this is what happens. Pretty simple.
Yep, fucking geniuses, only ' leftists ' ' democratic ' or ' socialist ' states have truancy laws...
The headline and story here is really confusing. Is it the student at risk for penalty or the parents?
Throw the book at him! Text book!
Yep, Tennessee too. We got nasty letters about his absences before they had even supplied the laptop and finalized his schedule. Getting enrolled in our district was a total mess.
So why wasn’t he in class?
Good Lord, what the hell is wrong with America - everything, it seems.
Just home school and tell them to f off!
Private Prison Industry. Got to keep them coming. This is a disgrace we don't need to make everything a criminal offense.
