[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m of a different view. By high school, it’s time to learn natural consequences. The kids who are driven & care about school will show up. The kids who are lazy & don’t care, won’t show up. No sweat of anyone’s back except the kids. In college nobody is going to monitor their attendance everyday.

That said, I am more inclined to give the benefit of the doubt to absenteeism at Kennedy than I am at BCC because Kennedy kids are more likely to be facing issues such as unstable housing, lack of transportation, lack of having their own cars if they miss the bus, having to stay home to watch siblings, hunger etc. [/quote]

You do know that BCC has a lot of kids in very rough situations, right? I've helped with supplying pantry items so these kids can eat. The school provides clothes and even holiday gifts and these kids really need the help.

Of course there are a lot of kids driving BMWs too but it doesn't mean there aren't many kids who lack role models and resources to succeed at school.

BCC appears to have a very wide range of household incomes. The average household income is very high because of the ultra wealthy but I'm guessing the median income is probably not. [/quote]
