School’s out forever? Risk attendance will never bounce back: education chief
www.smh.com.au
The decisions made during the pandemic must be reviewed because they are still affecting the mental health of students, a school chief says.

Have you noticed a drop in attendance this year, compared to previous years?

The article acknowledges that one reason students are absent is due to influenza and COVID throughout the community. I also wonder if some of it may be explained by parents pulling students out of school to go on overseas hollidays that were postponed during the COVID lockdowns.

Do you think the drop in attendance is just temporary, or is indicative of something deeper and longer lasting?
