[quote=Anonymous]If they want to cut down on absenteeism, they should eliminate the half days. Many in our class just don't attend at all on half days. It's really hard to find care for only half a day, so instead they just send them to grandma for the full day. Or kids go to their parents' work for the full day instead. Obviously school isn't daycare, but when parents can't make school work, kids just don't go. I too have had similar struggled over late arrival days. One time I HAD to be at work at 8am (major meeting), so instead of my kid doing a 2 hour late arrival, they just spent the day with me at work. The other side of absenteeism is middle class/UMC parents taking their kids overseas on long 2-4 week trips. You're unenrolled at 15 days, so they keep the trips to 14 school days off. [/quote]
