I think it’s a remarkable record but I can’t agree with sending your child to school when they are sick. I try to be considerate of the other children who may not want to share strep throat, stomach viruses and colds.
I think she's missed out on a big part of childhood - a rite of passage. Staying home while almost everyone else has to go to school is a rare treat that HAS to be experienced at least once. She'll be scarred for life.
Perfect attendance. I think in her case it may mean that her parents wanted to ship her out of the house everyday. Tonsils out? Come on. Mom or Dad not home to take care of her?
I hope she does not take part in “Senior Skip Day” the last week of school.
A classmate of mine, Vanessa Rodgers, had a 12-year perfect attendance record. We had no Kindergarden.
Cordova HS, Class of 82.
My wife and several of her classmates never missed a day of school in her Asian homeland. 12-year-perfect-attendance kids were almost the norm way back there, way back then.
And the poor people there still ain’t disgustingly, repulsively fat, to this day.
I had perfect attendance for 4 years of high school. Thought I was hot stuff and expected some kind of award at graduation. Nah! Two classmates had 13 perfect years. Turned out this was fairly regular during the 70’s - 80’s at my HS.
One of my cousins did that - K-12 (dont know about college).
