A Poem

The joke of all jokes is telling me, a parent, that my kid needs a doctor’s note to be excused for being sick But what’s the excuse for not believing parents about their own child’s illness?

Do you think I will cover for my child so they can have a day off from the monotony of standardized schooling? Yes. Yes, I will cover for my child when it’s just too much like the 5:30 am wakeup or the 10:45 am lunch period or the willingness of teachers to mark a kid late when they know that the lateness is due to the two-lane pile up inside the grounds of the school which takes ten minutes to get from end to end, completely outside of a parent’s control

You teach my child antiquated math year after year, but make mental health an eighth of a Health class, which is a quarter of a school year but you wonder why I allow personal mental health days to take time away from the smell of complacency and institutionalization in standardized education that cares more about your test scores than your overall personal health

You want me to pay a copay just so a doctor can say my child is sick when they just have a cold and don’t want to infect other students, but you won’t excuse that without said confirmation from a medical doctor about a cold anyone can see or hear? So we send our kids to school a little sniffly, a little cough-laden so they don’t miss some inane homework assignment that could be done at a later date and also doesn’t matter and then you ask my child, “Why are you here if you are sick?” and the cycle starts again

Don’t tell me about my child’s absences when you give a kid 17 and expect them to take none even though, in the real world, you lose your vacation days if you don’t take them within a year But this seems a silly lesson to you because you get more money, more grants, more standardization if all kids come to school every day and if they don’t, only a doctor’s note will exempt them from being sick because what school could ever trust a parent to parent their own child?
