Letter threatens arrest over 12-year-old's missed Zoom class, Bay Area dad says
这封信威胁要逮捕12岁的孩子，因为他错过了Zoom课堂，湾区的父亲说
The school principal says her administration had no choice but to send the letter, given new state guidelines around virtual learning.
学校校长说，鉴于有关虚拟学习的新指导方针，她的管理部门别无选择，只能发出这封信。
LAFAYETTE, Calif. (KGO) -- A parent in the East Bay city says a letter he received from his son's middle school, threatening the boy's arrest for missing less than two hours of Zoom class, is total overkill.
东湾的一位家长说，他收到了一封从儿子中学寄来的信，威胁要逮捕他，因为他错过了两个小时的Zoom班级的课程。
The school principal told ABC7 News, her administration had no choice but to send the letter, given new state guidelines around keeping better track of attendance as California public schools continue with mostly virtual learning.
学校校长告诉ABC7新闻，她别无选择，只能寄这封信，因为在加州公立学校继续以虚拟学习为主的情况下，州政府制定了新的指导方针来更好地跟踪出勤率。
"This is our fourth child going through this middle school and out of the blue, we got a letter," explained Lafayette parent Mark Mastrov.
拉法耶特的家长马克·马斯特洛夫说:“这是我们的第四个孩子在这所中学上学，我们突然收到一封信。”
Mastrov received the letter after his seventh-grader missed exactly three 30-minute Zoom sessions, one day last month.
Mastrov收到这封信之前，他的七年级学生刚好错过了三个30分钟的缩放课程，这是在上个月的一天。
"He can become a truant of the state and he could be arrested," explained Mastrov, who said he immediately called an administrator at Stanley Middle School. "I said, 'Are you going to come and try to arrest my son at my home, or fine me for not getting him to his Zoom class perfectly, on time everyday?'"
Mastrov解释说:“他可能会成为一个逃学的人，他可能会被逮捕。”他说他立即给斯坦利中学的管理人员打了电话。“我说，‘你是要来我家抓我儿子，还是因为我没能按时、完美地让他上缩放课而罚我?’”
Like his classmates at Stanley, Merek Mastrov spends up to seven hours a day attending virtual school via Zoom.
和他在斯坦利的同学一样，Merek Mastrov每天要花7个小时通过Zoom上虚拟学校。
It's been more than a month since public school districts in the Bay Area opted to return to online classes and educators and parents are starting to recognize the negative consequences of distance learning.
一个多月前，旧金山湾区的公立学校重新开始使用在线课程，教育者和家长们开始意识到远程教育的负面影响。
The letter from a Stanley administrator lists the three periods Merek missed and says, "When a student is absent without a valid excuse, the student is considered truant according to California law."
这封来自斯坦利管理人员的信列出了梅雷克缺席的三节课，并说:“根据加州法律，如果学生没有正当理由缺课，就被视为逃学。”
And down below, the letter lists six possible consequences, including:
下面，信中列出了六种可能的后果，包括:
"The pupil may be subject to arrest under Education Code Section 48264."
根据《教育法》第48264条，学生可能会被逮捕。
The principal at Stanley Middle School told us the letter is the result of new state guidelines passed this past summer, CA Senate Bill 98, which requires districts to keep a closer eye on student attendance.
斯坦利中学的校长告诉我们，这封信是今年夏天通过的新州指导方针——CA参议院法案98的结果，该法案要求各学区密切关注学生出勤率。
Reached by phone, Principal Betsy Balmat told us, "The letter is part of our responsibility to the state for our student attendance review boards. As always, the schools have a responsibility to ensure students are engaged and learning."
在电话中，校长Betsy Balmat告诉我们，“这封信是我们作为学生出勤审查委员会对州负责的一部分。一如既往，学校有责任确保学生参与并学习。”
Balmat also said the Mastrovs should've received a phone call first, giving them a chance to clear their son's absences.
巴尔马特还说，Mastrovs夫妇应该先接到电话，给他们机会澄清儿子的缺席。
Mastrov told us he never received such a call and he's heard from other Lafayette parents who've received similar letters.
Mastrov告诉我们，他从来没有接到过这样的电话，他也听说过其他拉斐德的父母也收到过类似的信件。
Now, he's writing to lawmakers, urging a change in state law.
现在，他写信给立法者，敦促修改州法律。
"Obviously we're in a pandemic and Gov. Newsom is trying to manage it," said Mastrov, "but if the state of California is focusing on arresting 12-year-old children for missing 90 minutes of school in ten months, it's ridiculous."
Mastrov说:“很明显，我们正在疫情中，纽森州长正在努力控制它。但是，如果加州集中精力逮捕10个月来在线课堂只落90分钟的12岁儿童，那就太荒谬了。”
California public schools traditionally rely on daily attendance numbers for their state and federal funding.
加州公立学校传统上依靠每日出勤率来获得州政府和**的资助。
