Montgomery County schools launch comprehensive plan to combat chronic absenteeism.

[RFBfromDE]

The "ALL TOGETHER Now: In School Together, Learning Together, Achieving Together” is a multifaceted initiative designed to address the pressing issue of chronic absenteeism and promote consistent attendance among students across the district. By implementing data-driven strategies and fostering collaboration among stakeholders, MCPS aims to reduce barriers to school attendance and empower students and families.

The Attendance Action Plan is built on a theory of action, which states that through a collaborative and data-driven approach, MCPS can effectively tackle chronic absenteeism and create an inclusive learning environment for all students. Recognizing the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on student attendance, MCPS is also addressing culture and climate issues identified in the MCPS Antiracist System Audit, further emphasizing its commitment to equity and inclusion.

At some point will society ever admit that you can't polish a turd?

Jargon and Catch Phrases = Turd polish.

Exactly!

 

[mpollan1]

And/or admit that turds should not be permitted to walk among us. But then, at least in Monkey County, as an old white guy, I'd be marked with the sign of the turd

Two years telling everyone not to go to class and now they can solve the problem!

 

[Threeband]

Somebody got a four year degree and a burdensome student loan to learn how to write like that.

Encouraging and rewarding perfect attendance is no longer emblematic of system racism?

Can we be sure?

Found the problem.

How many of the chronically absent were still moved on to the next grade?

2022 HS grad rate was 86% - couldn't find 2023.

2023-2023 HS Chronically absent rate was 35%.

Either their graduation rate falls to 65% in 2023, or you still get a degree without going to school.

It isn't the job of WJLA to ask questions nor follow up.

WJLA regurgitates what The Party tells them.

This is what happens when you fast track the creation of a sh!thole enclave within our borders. Certain demographic never did and perhaps never will value an education. They see more value in having their son or daughter working making money.

barriers to school attendance

Yep. Because someone else is the problem.
Lack of self responsibility.
Lack of parenting ability
Lack of teacher ability
Lack of society ability
Lack of giving two shits

You believe our truants are working in businesses run by their families?

Link please.

You do not want to be linked to my brain. Hell, there are times I would like a break

 

[Doco Overboard]

They should offer bong hits at the commencement of each class right after the late bell rings.

A delicious Kamala word salad. I love the passage of time and a yellow school bus full of dindunuffins making Venn diagrams

Found the problem.

They know how many chronic absentees are non-white, near, central, or far East Asians. How many reside in single parent home or otherwise...

But they don't say. And WJLA won't ask.

 

[whistlersmother]

Climate issues are now racist?

It only affects certain races and not others?

Should clouds and rain now avoid areas by racial lines?

There are a percentage that would benefit all those who want not to ask "Do you want fries with that?" by staying away.

But there are always those who don't want to attend because they'll be bullied physically and mentally.

And there is a very small percentage that will stay away because they are not challenged and shouldn't be there.
