Chronic absenteeism is a major challenge in schools and often leads to academic struggles for students. Yet teachers are frequently held responsible for the outcomes.
It’s time to recognize that schools and educators alone cannot solve all the challenges students face.
If you're as fortunate as I am to be employed in education, please take 5:38 of your day to watch this. If you put care and love for students above all else in this vocation, you are also making a difference! Sometimes you will know it and sometimes you won't. But keep doing it!

In Finland, 95% of teachers stay until retirement. They have more planning time, teach less each day compared to the US, and have more local control over what they teach. The focus is on project-based learning instead of testing, which helps foster creativity and critical thinking. Finland's students consistently perform well on international assessments like PISA in high school. Oh and they have been ranked the world's happiest country for seven years in a row. Sadly a lot of what they do now they learned from us in the 1970's.
