    Tennessee school won’t accept doctor’s notes for absences

    The policy will not allow excused absences for sick or hurt kids

    The school has a few exceptions for chronic illness and emergencies

    Kids with 8 or more absences will be referred to court

    . . .

    My GUESS is that they've had too many abusing 'sick'
    excuses.

    However this "fix" just won't WORK. Kids get ugly sick
    all the damned time. Often it's something CONTAGIOUS.
    The high stress of being sick AND forced into a school
    regime might make some cases much worse.

    So, speaking of being sick, maybe the administrators
    should get an exam ......

    FIRST kid that catches something nasty from one of
    the 'conscripts' and it's MAJOR LAWSUIT TIME.
