[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s an enormous problem nationally, and tends to correlate with income. So the poor get further and further behind. And teachers can’t help them if they’re not there.[/quote] And this is the problem with MCPS's obsession with closing the gap. I fully support funding poorer schools a little more to help them out, but at some point we're just throwing money at kids and families who don't care. This robs the kids who do care of the education they deserve.[/quote] I think all parents care. Some are busy working three jobs and may not realize the negative effects of absenteeism. [/quote]
