[quote=Anonymous]With the immigrant population, I wonder if part of it might be parents who don’t understand it’s important to call/email to excuse an absence for illness (or don’t want to because they don’t speak English and/or are afraid of contact with official people). Some are also probably kids who actually do need to work on some days when work is available to help support their families. Clearly this isn’t all of it but it may increase the numbers somewhat. The individual teachers probably could say which kids are trying but have illness or family obligations versus those that are just blowing off the class.[/quote]
