Honestly, even if you pull your child from this school, that is the sort of thing (lack of attendance to their duty of care for a child) that someone in your state needs to be made aware of.


I'd send a letter of understanding to the person who "confirmed" this as school policy for you. Then tuck that away until you are gone-gone-gone from there, and turn it over to whoever seems appropriate at the state dept. of education or the local board.

That is uncool for any student. Ever.
