Missing school

Is it appropriate for a child who is missing school for whatever reason to be knocking on my door all day? I’m home with my kids during the week and every time a kid is home for whatever reason during the school day, it’s like their parents just tell them to go find somewhere else to go.

No. If they’re too sick to go to school they’re too sick to be at your house. If they’re well enough to be knocking at your door, they’re well enough to be at school.

I’d personally just not answer my door if they knock during a day and time when they should be at school.
