[quote=Anonymous][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]You probably believe that and I want to as well but that's simply not true. There's a sliding scale of parenting ranging from abuse and neglect to doing the bare minimum to doing it right all the way over to helicoptering. That aside, at some point we have to cut bait on students who are a massive negative on the school system.[/quote]
