[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am the teacher who works in a high poverty school. Maybe my school population is the exception but the reason most students are absent/late at our school is because their parents often work very early in the morning. A lot of them clean houses, etc so they have to take the kid with them to work. Then they have to get them to school on the city bus so they are often late. Sometimes the kids say that they missed school b/c their parents didn't have the bus fare to bring them to school from their job. Many of these parents work 2-3 jobs. They have a great work ethic and they do the best they can. Most of them are immigrants.[/quote] Probably not dc cause those in dc are sitting around getting drunk or high because of the never ending welfare benefits[/quote]
