I Wonder Why This Is

From the major Sacramento newspaper:
Sacramento County students have the worst chronic absentee rate in the region and a higher rate than all but two of the other 20 largest counties in California – Sonoma and San Joaquin.

According to new state data, 14.8 percent of Sacramento County students missed one-tenth of their classes last school year. By comparison, 10.8 percent of students statewide missed that many classes.
A chart accompanying the article showed that the worst district attendance-wise at 20.1% of its students miss at least 10% of their classes last school year.  The smallest percentage shown was an elementary school district with only 5.8% of its students missing 10% or more of their classes; with the exception of that one elementary district, the 9 other districts on the chart were either unified or high school districts.

  2. Read my most recent rant/post. We have a generation that doesn't think they have to show up unless they feel like it. This is not just regarding school, but family events, work, appointments, lots of things regarding what is now known as "adulting."
