Well he did at this home.

Nice!!!!

** Somewhere in darkest Glasgow, an Attendance Officer accompanied by a Depute Head (safety in numbers) went into a block of flats to speak to a family about the daughter's poor attendance.
As they climbed the stairs they spotted a large Rottweiler patrolling the landing outside the flat they were going to visit!
Undaunted by this slabbering beast, they rang the bell. The door was opened & in rushed the dog. They were greeted by the mother & taken into the sparsely furnished living room.
The conversation wasn't going too well & to make matters worse, the DHT saw the dog cock its leg & pee up against a wall in the room. Nobody said anything & he decided to keep quiet.
The conversation became more heated & then he saw the dog do a sh*t in the corner! Again nobody mentioned it.
Eventually the Attendance Officer decided to call a halt to the meeting as the family were becomingly increasingly hostile towards their callers.
The AO & DHT were shown out and started to walk downstairs, both glad to have escaped.
Then suddenly the flat door was thrown open & the father shouted after them:

" An' youse can take yer f**king dog wae yeh!!"

Back in the day, (1949) the School Leaving Age was officially 15 years of age.



We kids who knew that it took about a term for the authorities to come round and find out why a kid was absent, so it dawned on us (and the parents too) that if we left school aged 14 1/2 we could get away with it, so that's what I did.



By the time I was 15 I was already working half a year.



But my Dad said it. 'You spent 10 years of Your Life trying to get out of school, and the rest of Your Life trying to Get Back..!' How right He was..!

Yes. It should show the level of ignorance of our stuffy educators too. I wrote a really good paper,and the teacher refused to accept it. Accuse me of having "my sister" write it. When it was established that I didn't have a sister, they blamed my mother!!! Guess how that went over when they called home? I was labeled a cheater for my entire middle school career! Next was when I answered a lot of math questions that we hadn't covered in class! That was really BAD! I Had to be cheating!! The fact that I helped my dad in his machine shop and used this math daily, fell on deaf ears. Three hoodlums beat me up. The next day, whenever someone asked what happened, I replied that "(named the three) got me down and beat the **** outta me". A day after that the three came to school looking like me. The cops were called, and I was accused of trying to start a gang fight! Inciting a riot!! Threatened with being incarcerated as a delinquent, in light of my previous mis deeds!!! Don't have much faith on cops or middle school teachers. A view that was reinforced by my daughters school experiences. Too bad I didn't have a dog to take to school!!!!

certain. yet we were and nevertheless are individuals of HSLDA, HomeSchool felony protection association. it truly is an quite nominal value and delivers courtroom representation if needed, and consistent retained felony tips over the phone any time it truly is needed even as Qs upward thrust up as they now and again do, and in the case presented in this Q, all that needs be performed is present day the cardboard with the phone volume and then the community enforcement officials stick with up at a larger aspect so as that precise tips is given from one felony branch to a unique. those peopleHSLDA are who the gov't works with in Wash DC, and who're assisting topics in public colleges with instructors father and mom scholars college forums - additionally they deliver a month-to-month publication it truly is loaded with effective source information. it truly is not for offensive or shielding habit, it truly is something it extremely is the position the felony authorities can turn even as they're at a loss for words by skill of all this. you probably did superbly, and it would have helped had this card been accessible for them so as that one individual would not ought to face in the hollow, it truly is then dealt with in a broader trend which permits all professional homeschoolers in a unmarried year community. I had one incident early on, and fortunately I had the cardboard (it went properly too) and they copied the information and later referred to as and thanked us because it took issues up a notch to the 'felony' aspect the position the finished station replaced into very sparkling about what's and is not ok even as homeschooling. also took me out of that 'loop' and that i replaced into by no skill afflicted back by skill of all of us all by skill of commencement and scholarships. What one reviews others are too, and we elect to assist each and everybody we may be able to to get sparkling on the rules and bounds, not basically for our instant situation yet to pave the way so others have it smoother. The HSLDA relieved me of getting to describe persistently, human beings ought to easily call and get the information instantly from the horse's mouth, with the point to chat, really than make certain if i replaced into maximum acceptable in my tips or not. I had a large number of people Q me about it, yet purely one police visit. and they extremely do not opt for to be in contact because it truly is extra of a political difficulty than a criminal or civil one. you're an quite good paver and street smoother. thanks for conserving on conserving on. Peace be with you. thanks for the pertinent Q :)

No the school attendance officer never visited my house, I always went to school, it just never entered my head not to go to school.

Loved the joke though, I would give that one 20 out of 10, and thanks for sharing with us.
