Karl, FWIW part of the reason I keep coming back to the ticker is for the wildly eclectic posts you make; finance one minute, a jailed teen the next.
The event reported here is silly, another on a huge heap of mismanaged actions by school bureaucracies.

Agreed. I was outraged when read it too. The stupidity is getting extreme in every corner. Judges are supposed to have the highest powers of wisdom, yes ?

KD, Please post this judge's picture so all his associates and neighbors will know who he is and can express their disagreement in a legally appropriate manner. I recommend that they turn their back to him in his presence.

I'm 30 in Houston, if this was my kid I'd do exactly what you said. All while saying screw you to the school staff. Only problem with private education, aside from the cost currently, is I still have to pay prop taxes to support public edu.
Also I'm hearing the manditory vaccination for enrollment where there is no law. Its policy no law and if you push them you can get past that but they will lie all the way until the point where you let you pass.

That poor girl is obviously staying in school to better her opportunities in the future. She has waaaay too much responsibility. That judge has a head up the ass. Where are the parents and why isnt' the law after them for neglecting their children?!?

There are laws here in OK for how many days of school your kid can miss. I don't think age is a mitigating issue at all. There is also a graduated scale wherein as more-and-more days are missed, signatures are needed by more-and-more administrators to allow more absences. This also applies for kids in 'school' activities - sports, academic meets, band competitions, etc. If they go over without the required signatures it's a surefire visit from DHS.

Actually, the school administrators should be taken to task for having such easy classes that a kiddo could miss 3/4 of the days and still be an honors student.
To be fair, though, a honors student today isn't the honors student 20 years ago.
Regardless, the judge has his head up his ass.

Another totally weird comment from the steel, but you know, the judge did Ms Tran a favor. If the story is correct, Ms Tran has received $40,000 from those outraged by this case. $40,000 for spending one day in jail? Hmm, that's approaching Jamie Dimon level compensation for a misspent day.
Of course, this is an outrage - and all that rot, but if Ms Tran is smart, and I believe she is, she will use that money to start a business or go to college - a day peeing in an open toilet, smelling vomit, etc. for $40k? Where do I sigh up?

If she's gotten 40k then good for her. I am in agreement with publishing the judge's picture/info though so that he can be shamed into not doing this again. Quote:if Ms Tran is smart, and I believe she is, she will use that money to start a business or go to college Amen! From another point of view, I'm a professor can I'd kill to have all my student's be like Ms. Tran. Flap

This is linked to Texas school finance laws. I vomit every time I hear the propaganda taught in public schools and evidently they have set up the law to make for certain no one is left behind in learning the statist bull****. The judge, from what I recall, is a JP and I am kind of surprised JP court could put a kid in jail. The problem is the school district gets money only for days attended, thus the kid is depriving the teachers and more likely the criminal element that runs the public education system of their deserved money. EXTORTION RACKET.

He's a JP in Montgomery County Precinct One, located in Willis Texas. That is, he's not a real judge. Nonetheless he sports the typical smug expression that every apparatchik with some sliver of governmental power wears these days on what passes for a face...  http://www.mctx.org/courts/justices_of_t....

Either the Judge is an idiot or he's brilliant. People have set up a fund for Ms. Tran and have collected 40k so far (from the link). Perhaps the Judge figured his sentence would draw attention to her plight? Well bingo, he hit the jack pot and made himself look like a fool doing it. It was a selfless sacrifice on the part of the Judge, 'hey, I look like the bad guy but just look at the results!'
I think instead the Judge is hounded by a pack of truancy officers and he made an example out of the wrong person for the wrong reasons.

If you think JPs are bad as wanna-be real judges, every constable "I wanna-be a real fuzz" I've ever met was worse. I mean they're raked up from the dredges who couldn't make it into the ranks of the city or sheriff departments, and spend their careers manning school crossings, chasing down truants, and serving divorce papers, so go figure. Kitted out with queer-gear knee pads and assault rifles in their trunks, of course.

signed it. they have almost 250k signatures in under 24 hours. someone (her lawyer) needs to look into if there's any legal recourse to go after this judge personally, or how to get him removed from the bench.
