SAH doesn't support change,

"SAH doesn't support change, it supports going backwards to the 1950's,"
Statement in a post below.
I wholeheartedly disagree. To me, SAH is a choice. How is that going back to the 1950s, when a lot of women didn't have much of a choice.

"are you saying attendance awards discriminate against the less healthy? nope. they're designed to prove (my) child the deserving child of an honor over the child who habitually shows up late or absent for *unexcused* reasons. "
Huh?!? Children who are absent for *excused* reasons such as illness do not get perfect attendance awards. That is most certainly discrimination against the less healthy. Unless, you are proposing that sick children are absent for *unexcused* reasons??
Yes. Attendance awards discriminate against the less healthy. A child who misses school only because of illness is ineligible for the award. The awards favors the healthy over the less healthy. Chronic conditions are especially discriminated against because a child with a chronic medical problem is unlikely to ever be able to go a whole school year without missing a day.
Why is a child who didn't get the flu more deserving of an award than one who did? Why is a child who doesn't have asthma or any other chronic condition more deserving of an award than one who does?
And while we're on the subject, why is a child whose grandparents don't die during the school year more deserving of an award than the one who had to miss a day to travel to a funeral? What exactly did that child do that makes them less deserving?
Perfect attendance is luck, nothing more. Rewarding luck should be left to lotteries.
Yes, most likely.

Hey, you are the one who seemed to have such a hard time grasping
PumpkinAngel
Yes.

No, that's really okay.
But, I would think that a little plastic toy could fit through and wind up with the grime at the bottom?
Then I didn't understand what you said in your post, nor did I understand the point of your post then either.
