I definatly think that parents should face jail time if they do not attend their child's school conference. One good reason is that it's a good resource as to which they can turn to if they want to know how to help their kid out. Also the students might be seeking help in them and the only way that they could find that help is to have parents attend conference so that with the help of the teacher they can find that. To many kids having their parents attend conference means that they actually care about them. Although some parents use that as an excuse to transfer their anger out to physical or Emotional punishment.
