[quote=Anonymous]Why is missing 4 days to go on a scholarship interview in Texas more valid than a student missing 4 days to take care of a much younger sibling? To get to a job that's needed to pay the family's food bill or rent? Who are you to judge that? The schools recognize that some absences are legitimate and others are not for the purpose of truancy laws -- eg excused and unexcused absences. But when looking at the educational impact of absenteeism -- a missed day is a missed day. [/quote]
