[quote=Anonymous]Some of these events aren't the cause, but the response to the cheapening of the profession. In this NPR story, the event is to promote school attendance. Study finds the school absenteeism rate is double what it was before COVID https://www.npr.org/2023/10/10/1204800597/study-finds-the-school-absenteeism-rate-is-double-what-it-was-before-covid "GRANT BLANKENSHIP, BYLINE: It's the first cool day of fall in Macon, Ga., and Principal Kizzie Lott is in a floppy green poncho and baby blue rubber boots... (SOUNDBITE OF CHILDREN GIGGLING) BLANKENSHIP: ...So students can dump water on her head. KIZZIE LOTT: Let's get your bucket. BLANKENSHIP: You only get a bucket if you've been regularly coming to school. And by now, Lott is wet. LOTT: You ready? The poncho does nothing. BLANKENSHIP: This is fun. But in truth, it's a kind of soft diplomacy. There's a message Lott needs these kids to take home today to their grown-ups and their friends who missed school."[/quote]
