Go To Parent/Teacher Meeting or Go To Jail

Detroit has one of the highest high school dropout rates in the country. The truancy rate is through the roof and finally somebody has had enough. Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy introduced a plan to the city council that would put parents in jail for not attending parent/ teacher meetings and I support her 100%. It's unfortunate that such drastic measure has to be taken, but something had to be done. I for one can't understand how a parent wouldn't be involved in every aspect of their child's education,from meeting their teachers to knowing their schedule. Not sure, if the city council will approve the plan but at least it will get the attention of parents who has no clue where their child is during school hours.
Good luck Ms. Worthy!
