Mrs. T, I'm not saying that it doesn't happen at places. But it doesn't happen in the majority of the US. Not unless someone wants to make trouble for you.
So... either you ticked someone off, or you are in an exemplary system. I hope its the later.
However, you did say pre-school. Pre-school, I am told, they pay more attention to the children at that level. That may be because the teachers at that level tend to have an extreme love for their students (a few surveys of teachers have shown preschool teachers tend to prioritize "working with/being around children" over everything else, including money, challenge, satisfication, AIR).
While I was a child in the system, I frequently skipped school. I was a chronic at certain phases of my young life. I averaged an 80% absentee rate for several years. But I was never failed, because I was always a top 1% student, often the top of the grade. Each school I was in, wanted me to stay on the rolls, because I tested out so high and that more then made up the money they lost on me being out past the mandatory fail line on my testing results. No system ever sent around anyone, and never summoned my parents to court about the matter. Only one system even bothered to phone when I was out to see if I was out for the full day, or just a half day.
