[quote=Anonymous]School districts get penalized if they have too many kids chronically absent but also if they fail too many kids. The result is that high school diplomas are basically worthless because you can miss 30% of the school year every year and be illiterate but you can cheat your way through credit recovery programs and will still get that piece of paper once you're 18. Enacting strict rules about attendance and getting rid of credit recovery nonsense would solve a lot of the truancy problems quickly but districts don't have the stones to do it. [/quote]
