AWOL

KABC-TV7 had a story about a Southland mother kept her child out of school for 13 days. Interviews included parents and the school superintendent. Parent says something to the effect that school is education and "it's smart to take your child to school." Superintendent mentioned that it's highly unlikely the child would receive education if they weren't in their seat at school. Is this the most insightful tidbits of opinion they could find?
