Absenteeism rife at Boston high schoolsMy guess is that this would be true for all city schools. The mob mentality types.
I know they have the same problem in the city near where I live:
"When analyzing the issue of “disturbingly high absenteeism” in Rochester [NY], Interim Superintendent Bolgen Vargas recognizes that the community must get involved.
'Only a comprehensive approach with social services, other agencies, churches and neighborhood groups can fix this problem.' ”
Anyone notice who wasn't mentioned? Anyone? Buelher?
PARENTS.
My first response attempt on my first day of joining free republic. . Maybe no one should be in public school anyhow.
