It appears the parents missed a lot of school too.

Exactly what I was thinking. The parents need a little more schooling.

A silly side story here. A few years ago I got roped into taking over a U.S. History class for a pal who got married it was an easy 3 week gig. These were all Freshman and this was there first term in College. I had been at it a few days and a student came in late approached me and handed me a note from his Mother. It asked me to excuse him for being late for class. It seems that she slept in and made him late.
I asked him how old he was and he replied 18. I stared at him as I ripped up the note and told him to sit down. I looked at all the bright young faces and said, for all of you out there 18 years or older. You are now adults and notes from Mommie dont work anymore. After the laughter died down I looked at the young man and said " How long do you think it will take for you to live this down". For the rest of my time in that class there were no more late arrivals or notes from parents.
