"Child neglect" the crime.
Depends if the parents (or parent) dismiss the meeting with the teacher.
I never did. But I don't remember getting very many phonecalls to come in either. Usually introduced myself at all the parent/teacher meetings and told them I would be available if anything came up. And I think once, I had a minor problem with my son skipping classes in grade 10.
Same grade I skipped classes (must run in the family....lol)
I think I can see your point.
They should have a good excuse why they couldn't make it in.
But ciminalizing it is out of the question as far as I'm concerned.
