A Sign of the Times

I have a student in one of my classes who hasn't yet shown up to school.  Her parents have been in contact with our attendance office, though, as the reason for her absence is automatically noted on my roll sheets.  The reason?

"Student is stuck in Afghanistan."

Bless her heart. But I have to question why loving parents would send their child to an area of the world with a rapidly dissolving security situation? That seems insane.

Ellen,
I am thinking that she may be visiting family there. That's the only reason I can imagine.
