[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are PPs on this thread really role playing as parents of chronically absent kids? [/quote] We are saying that MCPS does not keep accurate records, and with absences being marked even when kids are in school (possibly late), the absence number might be inflated. No one disputes that some kids are chronically absent, but A. perhaps there are fewer chronically absent kids than MCPS thinks and B. chronic absenteeism has to do with poverty and a troubled home life, which is not something schools can easily fix. So this is all for nothing. Let's focus on more security in school (vaping detectors, weapons detectors, security officers), and a better caliber of teachers with a more rigorous curriculum, smaller classes and more textbooks.[/quote]
