Academic Language Week 29 - School Conferences

Should parents face jail time for missing their child's school conference? I think parents should not face jail time for missing their child's school conference because it is not reasonable! One reason is that it really isn't that much of a deal to go to your child's school. Another reason is that parents might have work and they should not miss hours of work because hey need money for their daily life, such as buying groceries and refill the gas in your car. Parents might not be able to TRANSFER themselves to the child's school because for their personal reasons. Additionally, the parent might be able to SEEK other ways to keep in touch with the student's school not only my going there, but by calling. There are a lot of RESOURCES to the parents, and a lot consequences other then gonig to jail. In conclusion, I honestly think parents should NOT face persion.
