Second Article on Local Schools Tells
What Schools Should Expect of Parents
By Superintendent Leland Linn
Good schools do not just “hap
pen." Everyone interested in the
schools of Ashland is anxious
that we have a system that is
excellent in every way for he
feels that the children here are
entitled to the best. Good schools
are the result of the efforts of
both parents and staff members
for cooperation is fundamental.
Since there is a high correlation
between attendance and the qual
ity of work done in school there
should be a felling that nothing
short of illness or an emergency
should keep a student from his
classes. In the last years there'
has been a nation wide tendency
on the part of parents that are ir
responsible to send the children
to school only when it is conven
ient. Regularity of attendance is
a prime requisite for a good
school.
The first thing that the Ash
land teachers have a right to ex
pect of the parents is that a real
emergency exists before they» ask
that their children be excused
from any part of the school day.
Nothing is more discouraging!
