It is relevant. So no one is saying that the school should not care about "why".

It can affect how effective a policy could be, but it is not the only factor that needs to be considered.

We are now talking about whether punishment would be useful, not trying to provide a full scope policy that works perfectly for MCPS.

Whether punishment would be useful depends on why students are skipping. And on what the punishment is.[/quote]

Students are skipping for different reasons. Punishments are useful for some reasons. That is good enough. I am not talking about a "work-for-all" method.
If you want to pursue other ways to help students getting back to school, as long as it does not require significantly more resources, I think you can propose that to schools too. It is in no way contradicting to having a punishment system.

Punishments might work if students have reasons for non-attendance that don’t put outweigh the punishment. [/quote]
