[quote=Anonymous]I'm a HS teacher and I think at my level it is largely a result of (1) no real consequences - I have had to get rid of real due dates and late penalties, and all of my work is posted online and students must be allowed to submit online [so really, why should they bother coming in?] and (2) these kids were really, really traumatized during COVID. at a time in their lives when they should be going outside of their comfort zone and socializing, they were stuck at home for a year. the anxiety of these kids is through the ROOF. I don't randomly call on students anymore or require class presentations, and a majority of my students choose to email me with questions rather than ask me in person. through point #1, we've set up high school to allow students to get through it at their comfort level, which means many don't come in (and still get good grades). combine that with the increased anxiety, it's a perfect storm for the huge absence problems we're seeing.[/quote]
