I found the teachers generally didn't care in the past, but the principal definitely wanted you there so he didn't have to cut programs or services at the school.
I find these days the teachers are being forced to be even more strict on the students with poor attendance. I had prepaid close to $3000 for a school trip for my daughter to go to a few countries in Europe and about a month before the trip they called my daughter in and told her they weren't going to let her go on the trip (and would be keeping my money) if she missed any more classes without a valid reason. There's no way in hell I would have let them steal my money, but that is the type of shit they are doing these days to keep their funding levels up.
