I do think that this rule will be onerous for many families. But kids can't learn if they aren't PRESENT. And they don't know about getting up in the morning if they don't have someplace that they are required by their parent to be. This may be just the basic life requirement that these families need. There are things you have to do in life to get to a place where you can have a job. Showing up at school every day is one of those basic things.
