[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m still trying to figure out what that all of that fluff is actually trying to say.[/quote]

In the middle of fall semester, truancy increases.  Robo-administrator is trying to encourage parents to pay more attention to their kids and make sure that they actually go to school.  Especially those who have high schoolers who have open campuses.  I frequently drop my kids off at their ES and then head to a Panera that is near a local high school to get breakfast.  I have not made a visit yet since school started that there wasn't at least one group of teens who were there hanging out, on their phones and getting food and just goofing off.  While I respect that many of them may have open periods where they are allowed to leave campus, I would also bet that some of them skipped school just to hang out with their friends.

Robo-admin is claiming that the school is working hard to adjust lesson plans to be more interesting in the hopes that kids will want to be in school.  Not really that effective of a carrot. Some kids (also many adults) just don't want to learn and work and will look for any chance to goof off.  [/quote]
It wasn't sent to parents. It was sent to staff in the district.[/quote]
