my mind that only 32% of enrolled kids came to school last week.
Granted, this is the heart of what you see on TV about Detroit. But 32%? They aren’t supposed to even call it a school day if less than 50% are present and this week alone was 32%. Unreal.

Attendance policies changed due to all of the quarantines, minds changed in students and parents, anxieties have hit an all time high.
It's a lot of factors. But the schools are continuously working to tell students and parents "no, you need to be in school by law or we will take you to court
When I was growing up, I didn't know school was optional. To a lot of these parents now, it is

I know it changed my outlook (though my kids aren't in school yet). I wouldn't really hesitate to pull my kids out of school for a week to take a fun family vacation and miss Spring Break/holiday crowds. Zero chance I would have even considered it five years ago.
The message school system admins sent was that in person attendance really wasn't all that important. IMO, they still send that message when they have e-learning days because it is windy or might be too cold.

Boomers would just whip their kids butt & send them out to ride the bus

Later take the car keys & send them out to ride the bus.
No options. No debate. Get up and get your young a$$ to school.

my and my brother's boomerasses and making us walk or ride to school. It was not an option. Parents were on the side of the schools, and our parents expected us to respect the authority of teachers and principals. If we didn't, they would all beat us.
Just my opinion, but while not perfect, that was better than not making kids do anything or respect authority.

well then you are going to the doctor and if he says you're not sick there will be hell to pay.
My mom didn't work. I still had to walk to school starting in 2nd or 3rd grade. In high school I had to hitch hike home.

Yep. I walked to school (less than 1 mile one way) grades 1-8.

Grades 9-10 I rode the school bus. Then my brother, who was 7 years older, bought a car and he gave me his old car, so for 11-12 I drove.
I cut school a few times in high school, and every time I took 3 licks from the principal rather than suspension which meant a call to my parents. The principal hit me with this, and each lick lifted me off of the ground. The first lick hurt like a MF, but ace went numb after that, and I didn't really feel the next two:

Exactly.
Mom worked in textile mills and grandpa farmed. If I stayed home he came buy about 630/7am after mom left. He'd make me go work with him, unless I puked or passed out. Then he believed I was sick.

I think that's 10 or more absences in a semester, but I'm not positive.

Want to fix the public schools?

Make the schools part of the US military...uniforms, inspections, standing at attention, shining jump boots, intense physical training, saluting the flag. Parents don't like their tax dollars being spent that way for education? Tell them to go suck eggs and pay for private schools. Parents don't want to bother sending their kids to school at all? Round them all up along with their kids and send them to the family wing at Fort Leavenworth to break rocks for a couple of months. It's not like we can't get smaller sledge hammers for children you know. Kids that don't graduate? Force them to work 18 hours a day in a sweatshop making Nike athletic shoes for .35 cents per hour.
Feel free to write RH Tig in for the next election and get FAST RESULTS.
