Responding to a message by Matt, to Paul on ...
MS>I was friends with the attendance secretary and was 
MS>helping the assistant principal she worked for at the time.
MS>The attendance secretary daily put out an "attendance 
MS>bulletin" listing absences (and excuses) by homeroom.  
MS>You'd see some kids who came in with a different excuse 
MS>every day and missed half the days...never for a see-a-
MS>doctor level excuse.
Interesting - I would think there might be a liability problem with 
making medical and personal excuses public - do I really want my 
daughter's gynecological visit posted on the daily bulletin for all to 
read?  I think not.  Excuses are handled only by the nurse in our school.
