A Waynesboro, Tennessee, high school has some parents up in arms after they discovered their children were made to do physical labor to make up for missed classes.

The policy says students who miss classes must make up for it with after-school activities. During the school year, students can make up the lessons with after-school tutoring sessions. After the school year ends, students who haven’t made up their classes must do physical labor.

Wayne County High School Principal Ryan Franks created the policy in 2018 after dealing with rampant absences. He says he is proud of the policy and that it works. “They did not give him, or these other kids, educational incentives at that point. They literally made them work,” Ms. Carlton told local media.
