Bill calls for revoking parents’ driver’s license for school absences January 9, 2011 - By CARRA HIGGINS Special To The News and Sentinel
SOUTH CHARLESTON - Pay increases for educators, adding five or 10 minutes to a school day and a bill that one West Virginia senator thinks would encourage families to understand the importance of education are among the suggestions leaders in their fields believe could lead education reform in the state.
State Sen. Erik Wells, D-7th District, plans to introduce a bill during the upcoming legislative session, which begins Wednesday, that would revoke the driver's licenses of parents whose children miss too many days of school.
Although Wells said he won't bet it will be one of the approximately 200 bills of 2,000 that will become law this session, he does hope it will increase awareness about the importance of education and hold parents accountable for the actions of their children.
On Friday, Wells told West Virginia reporters the bill will call for revoking the driver's licenses of individuals whose children are inexcusably absent for 10 or more days of the school year. Before revoking the license, the bill would stipulate that a parent would receive a warning when the child has been absent five times, he added.................>>>>.....................>>>>..................http://www.newsandsentinel.com.....sences.html?nav=5061
Big Brother? That's what happens when we set up a system that we let 'take our kids' and watch them and deal with them....maybe we could just have institutions where the kids sleep and learn there, only coming home for holidays and short vacations(all at the same time)...
Schools A, M, P, Q, and R are dismissed for the first 2 weeks in June, Disney, grand canyon, yellowstone, vegas are all having 'family vacation specials'
we will spit 'em out and 'play' with them once in a while....
Educate...a whole generation was lax in it....
...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......
The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.

That just makes no sense to me. Having your parents become unemployed isn't going to improve your attendance, or if they have to use public transportation and have a 2 hour commute, there will be even less time to monitor the child.
It makes about as much sense as the current NYS law that revokes your license if you owe back child support. Crippling some body's ability to get to work, isn't going to exactly make that money start pouring in.
