To What Lengths Can A Parent Interfere With Child Education?

By pay online Posted in: pay online

Hello, I am currently attending high school as a freshmen. not long ago I was late for a class because my clock was broken and did not ring, I ran 3 blocks to school and was still late. I had told my dad about my broken clock several times and also that he only needed to drive me to a store and I would pay for a new clock myself, but I was not able to obtain a clock within that time, to the day I was late to class. My dad was not happy with me, so first I made sure he drove me to a store so I could buy a new clock and yet my dad still decided to take disciplinary action and take away my computer. Though I respect my fathers decision, I need my computer for school (online classes, reviewing current assignments, online assignments, typed reports, etc) so I can continue A’s and B’s in class. 
In my opinion this is severely interfering with my education and/or my educational rights. I looked online for answers as to what my educational rights were but was unsuccessful. I respect my father and his rights to take disciplinary actions when appropriate, I never rebelliously say no I’m more respectful then that, at times i have even encourage it, or even promote the consequences received (example: if he decides to take something of value to me, say for a week, depending on my actions I might suggest keeping it even longer). I tried to make him take something else of equal impotence to me but less harmful to my education but he did not accept, (this must sound strange coming from a high school teenager with the current teenager stereotypes that even I agree with). 
so please give me your hypothesis on the subject. is this interfering with my educational rights? To what limits can a parent go to interfere with education?  Are there limits? Does it matter matter who? Is it illegal at all? (please note, if illegal, I’m not using this as an excuse such as towards the  return my PC, I know my actions were irresponsible though to the fault of my clocks condition and even warnings about it, but I respect his decision to apply discipline to irresponsible actions when appropriate, and overall  completely respect him as my father, this is all merely for my own political education’s gain). Thank you,
(P.S any thoughts on what I can in order to earn back my computer so I may complete my assignments will be much appreciated as well, and also in case your wondering I’m using a different computer that is not flash compatible, so I can write this on yahoo answers but not complete the flash required assignments for school, this also makes writing reports twice as difficulties as well. just in case you were wondering).

    There’s no law about this, however, if you need the computer for online courses, surely he recognizes that you can’t succeed in the courses without access to a computer.
    Your real problem is that your father (parents?) wouldn’t provide an alarm clock so that you could get up for school- or wake you up themselves. I don’t know what to tell you to do about that- I just can’t imagine parents not helping their kids be successful in school. I know I spent every morning that my daughter was in high school banging on her door and calling her to get her up and out of the house on time (she was a deep sleeper). If you have a relative that he might listen to (a grandmother, perhaps), you could appeal to that person.

    Every parents wishes to make their child greater than himself and fell proud if he found your success. if think you should talk to your parent and make him convince for you problem he may support you with his heart

    In the US, the ONLY rights you have until you are 18 (with respect to your parents) are:
    1) The right not to be physically or sexually abused
    2) The right to be adequately fed, clothed, and housed.
    3) The right to adequate medical care only IF your life or health is in danger
    That’s IT. You have NO educational rights. You have NO right to a computer, or even to a paper and pencil, if your parents choose not to give you them. In fact, you have NO right to go to school at all, if your parents choose to home school you instead. The are no limits at all to how far your parents can go in hindering your education, if they choose to do so. It’s not illegal, and you have no recourse other than to try to appeal to their desire to see you succeed in life. You MIGHT be able to get them in trouble if they locked you in a closet for a week, but anything short of that, not a chance. You also need to consider that if a judge WAS to decide that your parents weren’t treating you right, you’d be placed into foster care, and the chances are poor that your parents would be able to get you back before you turned 18, even though both you and your parents wanted to live together again.
    When you turn 18, you have no rights anymore, as far as your parents are concerned. They no longer have to feed you, clothe you, house you, send you to school, or take you to the doctor. Your parents can even kick you out of the house and never have anything to do with you ever again and there is NOTHING you can do about it.
    The best advice I can give you is to politely ask your father in a respectful, mature, non-confrontational manner IF he will please allow you to earn the computer back, and how you could do that – keeping in mind that he does not HAVE to give you the computer back. Ever.
    If you do get your computer back, learn to be more resourceful with it. Why didn’t you download an alarm clock program, for example? (And learn more about English grammar – I saw at least three mistakes in your question)
