It is hard to believe that the experts who compiled the 77-page report on school absenteeism didn't list what is probably the most common reason kids are absent. That reason, for high school students anyway, is that they would rather sleep in late, stay home, and play video games than go to school. Are these professionals kidding me? It looks like they are more interested in excusing kids than holding them accountable. I am not saying that many of their listed reasons are not in play, especially in K-8, but their wilful blindness to a major cause is troubling.
Just wanted to say that the red links in the Education newsletter are much easier to see that the pale green ones in the Agenda. Could you possibly up the intensity?
Thanks go out to Yavapai County for breathing new life into M. Finchems political career. Yes...I'm being sarcastic. Why anyone would vote for this cretin is beyond me.
I’m gonna guess the answer about why 9 days lays somewhere in the 180 day ADM marker and easy math for that.

What not just flog them when they miss 9 days? You know, as a warning? Beating your misbehaving dog works, doesn’t it?
The beatings will continue until morale improves.
