[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They should make schools more engaging if they want kids to attend. Forcing it with punitive measures is a bad look. If your service is not very useful to students and parents, of course they won't use it as much. I don't see how chronic absenteeism per se is a problem at all. It's just a symptom of schools not being that fun or educational.[/quote]

Why don't you sh** on teachers a little bit more? The problem with people today is that everyone is a "client." Now students are clients? GTFO. MCPS should focus on finding a good curriculum and hiring quality teachers. My guess is that most of the kids not showing up are a PIA anyway. If they don't want an education, what do we care.[/quote]

We have really good teachers, really bad teachers and most in-between.  We have reached out to some teachers and they absolutely refuse to respond.  Same with our school counselor and VP.  We need more of the really good teachers and weed out the bad ones.  Many of our kids do want to be challenged and learn and this honors for everyone and no tracking is hurting all kids - it hurts the smart kids who aren't being challenged and it hurts the struggling kids who need more support and cannot keep up with a regularly paced class.  Teachers NEED to partner with parents.  If we are notified of an issue, we will deal with it immediately.  Granted, not all parents will, but seek out the ones who will and at least work with those of us willing.[/quote]
