Diane Tran, Honor Student At Texas High School, Jailed For Missing School
Diane Tran, a 17-year-old honor student in Texas, was forced to spend the night in jail last week after missing too many classes, KHOU-11's Sherry Williams reports.
The Willis High School junior, who helps support two siblings, has both a full time and part-time job. She said that she's often too tired to go to school.
"She goes from job to job from school," Devin Hill, one of Tran's classmates, told KHOU-11. "She stays up until 7:00 in the morning doing her homework."
What in the FUCK is wrong with people now days.

That totally sucks for the girl. From my understanding public schools get X amount in grants that depend on the school's attendance record. I was under the impression if a child has too many unexcused absences they had the right to put the parent in jail not the child.
Also if she's working that many hours and its brought to the judges attention shouldnt this be a flag for child services?
