[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do home health work and work closely inside the houses of many students that would be considered high farms. I think culturally bed times are different. Many times when I am going to a home, families are just waking up at 11. I think parents are on different shifts at work and also it's not uncommon for the kids to just be up. I also think that being consistently at school is not as important and kids are kept home for a variety of things - one family told me that they wanted to all go together when the youngest child got their passport. The families do things as a unit more.[/quote]

If you do home health work, that means a family member has some significant health issues.

They do tend to do more as a family.  When we had parties when my kids were little, we invited siblings and the entire class, and the entire family would come. In contrast, those who had just invited the child wouldn't come.  The bigger issue is that if parents are doing shift work and are exhausted, they cannot get up to take the kids to school on time.
