[quote=Anonymous]It is a problem with complex causes. I think schools need to start asking for verification of doctors appointments. And enforcing an unexcused absence means you don’t get to make up the work. Parents caught lying? Enforce the rules. My oldest doesn’t like to miss at all. Makes her too nervous she’s going to miss something. But my younger two are always happy to not be in school. We see a lot of parents checking kids out for a class to study for something else or miss a test they aren’t ready for. Also a ton of the pulling for vacations. All schools have to do is call those unexcused and give zeroes to fix the problem in high school. [/quote]
