@jpbrca @dpatrickrodgers I once saw a child with no shoes on filling up a gallon of water at that location. And I’d go back today if someone invited me.

@t_fulch Hah, well, not a lot. I was mostly hoping someone would have a study ready to toss my way, but that was naive!

[Amanda Haggard @HaggardAmanda]

Can anyone point me to any studies around K-12 attendance support and using punitive measures to get kids to school everyday? My kid doesn’t miss enough school that it matters as much, but I’m curious about the method of withholding a fun activity to get kids to school.

[Amanda Haggard @HaggardAmanda]

@AnneMarieDF I should also say I’m not advocating for doing nothing — I just truly wonder if this method is really working.

[Amanda Haggard @HaggardAmanda]

@AnneMarieDF This is for kids K-6. I also know teen truancy is a huge issue because I was not really made to go to school at that age. I’m not sure what would’ve helped me specifically from a school intervention perspective, but clearly the truancy carried through to high school for me.

@CoryWoodroof47 Wow and now you review films instead of being an accountant

[Amanda Haggard @HaggardAmanda]

As a note, I’m sensitive to this because I grew up in a family that took us out of school constantly and I can’t see my folks having been swayed by a reward. I did miss out on things because of it and the only person it hurt was me, who had zero control over getting to school.

One thing about a girl child is they’re absolutely making you learn hand symbols they just made up on the fly in order to answer a simple question.

This Christmas I’m wondering if my JNCOs that had a semi circle of water damage on the bottom would go for more or less today than the ones that were in good shape
