Letter: High school students of legal age should be able to
excuse own absences  April 23, 2013   I am an 18-year-old at
Richland High School. I don't understand why I can't call and
excuse myself for being sick.  I am a responsible adult, and I
don't live with my parents. I should also be able to check
myself out of school for appointments. I don't skip school; I
try to make it to school every day. The attendance office
doesn't care how old I am.  It's so frustrating, because I am
trying to make it on my own and go to school and further my
education. I have no support or help from my parents, and the
school needs to understand that. I want an education and my
grades reflect that. Let me be responsible for myself.
