Should parents face jail time for missing their child's school conference?

I personally do not think that parents who miss their child's school conference should face jail time. One reason is that many parents work full time jobs, some even have more than one job so it is tough for them to make it. Another reason is that missing a school conference has never been mandatory; however, parents should be rescourcefull and come up with another way to contact the teacher if they are not able to make it. Lastly, parents and teachers should be committed to working together by being flexible and possibly transfering dates they work or perhaps places to meet.

In conclusion I absolutely think that parents who miss their child's school conference should not be punished, but rather seek out their child's teachers and schedule alternate times/places to meet and discuss their childs performance in the classroom. Additionally, I do think that it is important that parents make the effort to try and go to conferences for their childs benefit.
