Keeping the parents in the loop and developing interventions is part of the administration's job, especially if a child has been absent overall (as opposed to only not attending math).
The fact that this parent didn't know so many things for so long means that they are absentee. But they are holding 3 jobs, and for them to not know also indicates the failure of the school to keep the parent informed.
- hc-taway 6y agoIt is entirely possible the school didn't communicate well, but be aware it's typical for a parent with a grievance to report not having received messages that have been presented to them several times via several different channels. And that's not even considering the ones who'll simply lie (every teacher will run into some of these), but just the ones who don't read anything or respond to phone calls.

- hc-taway 6y agoI mean, yeah, that's fair. School admin is one of those things you had some thoughts about as a kid, and later learn you weren't only entirely right about them, but it's much worse than you thought, rather than one of those things where you realize you were wrong when you grow up.
