Is it just for a school to give detention to a small child because her parent failed to take her to school?
Schools usually discipline students for excessive unexcused tardies and/or absences from school. Small children are not responsible for their transportation to school. They rely on their parents to get them to school on time. So how is it justifiable that a school will give detention as punishment (or any other punishment, for that matter) to a kindergartener or other young child because of the parent's irresponsible behavior?

Nope, that's why truancy officers go after the parents when their child has missed too many days of school.

not for that age, no. If it was a teenager however, this could be justified although the teachers would no doubt speak to parents

omg, if that is really happening, the school is sooo wrong! I would switch schools if that happened to my child [not that I have one ;) ] !
