Parents should not face jail time for missing their child's school conference. One reason is not every parent/guardian can make it to the meeting. The most common reason is because of their job. Another reason is because some times it's the teacher who misses the meetings or cancels. Another reason is because the adult could be stuck in traffic or could have gotten in a car accident. Last reason is if the parent gets put in jail then it puts more stress on the student. In the end the only thing you would be doing is setting the child up to fail and commit suicide or to become a Juvenal delinquent, or a kid that gets too many issues. There are many things that could happen to the kid or even the family, but as I have said parents or guardians shouldn't be put in jail for something that's out of their control.
