52. No, I don't specifically know anything about your students nor
did I claim to.

But, I do know a lot about poverty and band directors. I taught in rural Mississippi where poverty was the rule. I know that any band director would have made travel arrangements for this student under the circumstances.

Are you a band director? And if so, is it a common thing among your students that they are unable to participate in any band performances outside of the school day unless transportation is provided?

If the child had informed me on Monday as to why he wasn't present at the concert, I would have gotten in touch with the mother and told her that in the future, the school would provide transportation for him.
