[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]HS teacher here. At my DCC school, truancy is a huge issue. We need to bring consequences back for chronic absenteeism. A few kids skip because of major issues but many more kids skip just because they can. Many immigrant parents don’t understand that it is not ok to skip school. They will take kids out for 4-6 weeks to go visit their home country and teachers are pressured by administrators to help the kids catch up. It is an impossible situation and lowers the quality of education for all students [/quote] Same at my school. And then teachers get blamed for differences in academic outcomes based on race and ethnicity.[/quote]
