Academic Language Week 29 - School Conferences

Parents should not go to jail for missing their child’s school conference. The student and his/her parent might not be able to TRANSFER themselves to the meeting causing conflict. The meeting is also not necessarily a good RESOURCE of helping the parents to help the student because even if the conference occurs it does not guarantee that the student will do better with or without their parents help. Finally, if murderers don’t have to go to jail for SEEKING out innocent children and killing them then,parents shouldn't either just for simply missing a meeting. Forgetting their child’s school conference should not equal jail time for parents; it is unfair and unusual punishment.
