Ah yeah, it’s the magical effect of attending the first week that cleanses the truanting child’s soul.
Makes sense. The first week, unless things have changed in the many since since I’ve been is when you get all the info you need for the coming term, plus social connections. You’d be starting off on the back foot.
Probably would help if schools avoided starting back on a Thursday or Friday.
It’s not overly surprising.
While there are obvious exceptions, if parents don’t care that their children miss school during the first week of the academic year, they likely don’t care about other times of year either.
Based on the article, more than half of students with absences during the first week miss at least 19 days per school year. Four weeks off during the school year is a huge amount of time off.
My first thought would be that isn’t it more the fact that those who persistently miss school are more likely to miss the first week, as opposed to those who miss the first week becoming persistently absent.
I don’t see how attending the first week will do much for those where the kid or parent cannot be bothered.
Seems more like correlation than causation ?
The type of parent who isn’t fussed about their child attending the first week of school is probably not going to be hot on sending them to school the rest of the year, rather than the same student turning up for the first week somehow has this massive impact on them attending the rest of the year.
