"...
When your child physically shakes at the thought of school…
When your child cannot use their words to explain their fear…
When you’re called every day to pick up your child because they’re so upset…
You are lost in the system.
These are not hypotheticals. These are the real stories shared with me by parents of disabled tamariki, all ten-years-old and under."

[From the darkness of truancy to a new light] High school truancy is not ‘spoiled behaviour’ but a complex cry for help from the heart.
Don't keep it to yourself; seek professional support and find your own path.
There is definitely light in your future. #truancy #highschoolstudents
"As a result, Dunbabin said they're seeing some children come to school on lunch days and not on other days."

I wonder how much Rimmer is spending on truancy officers to in his attempts to increase school attendance? Maybe that money would be better spent on providing school lunches that students actually want to eat?
An example of how specific policies negatively affected Black ppl in concentrated areas of poverty👇🏿. #history #truancy #roberttaylorhomes #chicago #politics
"“Schools and attendance services are not well set up to enforce attendance,” the report explained.
“Just over half of school leaders (54%) and just over three in five attendance service staff (62%) do not think there are good options to enforce attendance and hold people accountable. Schools that have tried to prosecute have found the process complex and costly.”
