[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People, your kids missing school due to a handful of appointments are not who they are talking about. Students are missing 50+ days of school year after year and nothing happens. They are no consequences so they keep doing it. [/quote]

Chronically absent is 10%, so 18days and it includes excused and I excused absences.[/quote]

18 school days is 3 1/2 weeks of school. 25% of students are absent 3 1/2 weeks of school. This is at a time when students are not meeting state standards in math.

Any ideas from MCPS on how they are going to address the problem?[/quote]

What are parents going to do about the problem?  This is a parenting issue.[/quote]

I agree with that, but there are many f-ed up parents (and I mean f-ed up beyond what you can imagine) in the system.  Some of these kids have no chance at a normal life.  At some point, though, the collective problem impacts the schools and students who have a fighting chance at a normal life.  What do we do about them?[/quote]
