Every Kid, Every Day – Brookwood School District 167

Absenteeism is a problem for more than just the child. Stop it early because once it starts, it is hard to stop.

3. Why Regular Attendance Is Important

Brookwood167

The child misses out on information presented in a straight-forward way in several subjects. The disconnect can be hard to fix;
The student misses out on interactions that are critical for social development;
Children who are often absent may find it harder to focus in longer classes;
Chronic absenteeism can lead to truancy.

2. Absenteeism Makes It Harder On The Teacher

The teacher loses some ability to present information in an organized way, as the children are no longer all “on the same page”.
