    Unfit parent?
    Does keeping a child out of school for no good reason without educating the child at home deem you unfit?

    If someone challenges you, yes, it very well might. Depends on how much time the child is losing from school as well as all other behavior of the parent.

    This is a piggback and should be moved.

    Depends. If it is short term (like a few days here and there) maybe in a civil/custody matter. If its long term (like he wasn't enrolled) its not only unfit, but flat out illegal.
