[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter just graduated from MCPS, and hardly went to school. her pediatrician even understood why she did not want to be in that environment, with drugs, verbal assaults , requests to sext etc ......she basicaly taught herself. She refused to return to private school. MCPS did nothing ! Other than the daily call from a robot telling me my kid was absent, yes, I already knew ......no attendance plan, no calls from the grade chair, absolutely nothing. And passed. The decline in MCPS is staggering.[/quote] DP. The environment in the schools is the key. There will continue to be absences because well behaved kids are tired of the the disruptions. Why show up to a place with constant fights, yelling teachers, drug use in the bathrooms, etc? I give my kids mental health days off and I will continue to do so. They are still A and B students. The absentee problem is not just with kids that "need" to be there. It seems many prefer missing days just for the break. MCPS helpfully provides the number of days that can be missed. [/quote]
