To the Editor:

I wrote an angry letter to the editor recently about District 155 only allowing students six undocumented absences a year, after which you have to take your child to the doctor every time they get a cold.

Well, turns out the problem lies with our state legislators, who passed a law that allows fewer days where your kid may have a cold and a fever, or just feels bad, and parents can just call the attendance line to explain the absence. Insurance companies must be so happy!
