[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Chronic absenteeism is a huge problem post-pandemic. Including the OP, who thinks it is NBD. School districts in Virginia and around the country are trying to deal with it. This is a good thing. Even for UMC kids, missing a week of school is hard and can lead to lasting problems. [/quote] For some kids it is NBD to miss a few days and they can easily make it up. 5 days is not unreasonable to miss school, imo, whether it is excused or not. All this rigidity leads to is parents lying. When we need to pull out of school early or something, now I simply call in DC as sick. It's a non issue. But since they've forced parents' hands, this is how it is. [/quote]
