Stop medical appointments affecting school attendance.
I don't feel its fair that children with disabilities and illnesses are penalised for having essential and critical appointments that they need. Surely this is some sort of discrimination??
My daughter has a rare chromosome condition and has to have lots of different hospital appointments. She has always caught up at school but is marked down for attendance. If she has an appointment in the day she will either be at school in the morning or afternoon and has even been in the morning and back in the afternoon but still is marked down.
