Nationally, an estimated 26 percent of public school students were considered chronically absent last school year, up from 15 percent before the pandemic, according to the most recent data, from 40 states and Washington, D.C., compiled by the conservative-leaning American Enterprise Institute. Chronic absence is typically defined as missing at least 10 percent of the school year, or about 18 days, for any reason.

    You’re responding to my comment though which was always about school in general.

    You accuse me of failing to engage but the way I see it I distilled your point and framed the counter argument as a question. Instead of answering it you accuse me of being sophomoric and ironically accuse me of failing to engage.
