[quote=Anonymous]I do not have a single kid failing with <10 absences. I have multiple per class failing with >10 absences. I have 6 kids this year with >30 absences. All failing. You cannot fail if you come to school. They've basically forced us to structure the gradebook to make sure of it. Attendance is the easiest way to insure kids graduate on time. The emails/letters/texts you receive aren't personal. They are form letters. If your kid is passing and has excused medical absences, they aren't going to follow up or do anything. They are busy enough chasing down the ones who have over 50% absence rates and are failing multiple classes. In the "old days", over 3 unexcused absences was an automatic fail for the quarter. Now the school employees are just tasked with begging kids to come to school because it looks bad for them to fail.[/quote]
