[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are kids allowed to have mental health days? I think that would come up more frequent now than ever. Also what’s wrong with being able to achieve high grades while skipping? Shouldn’t the counselor re-evaluate the student’s course work for being not challenging enough? I think many kids are bored with what’s being taught, and/or going to college isn’t their thing, why keep them in school as long as they are safe. It doesn’t apply to those who mess around on the street, but some kids are in school just because they aren’t the age of graduating.[/quote] I assure you the kids who are able to skip and still maintain high grades aren't the primary problem nor focus of the chronic absenteeism problem. Those kids are a minority. The majority of chronically absent kids are not meeting state-level benchmarks, much less not being challenged enough academically.[/quote]
