[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot of these posts have focused on low-SES factors, but I will say what seems to be an increasing number of mid- and high-SES families seem to think nothing of taking kids out of school for weeks for international trips - sometimes it’s a true family visit situation (maybe a sick grandma so why not spend quality time) but often it’s just a time they consider convenient for an extended vacation.[/quote] That very well may be true. I wonder if it's significant though. When you look at the chronic absenteeism rates at the APS elementary schools (where economic disparities are the most stark) higher chronic absenteeism rates seem to correlate with the free and reduced lunch rates. There's no way to know who is actually absent obviously, but it seems like a trend. [/quote]
