Fresh proof New York’s educrats don’t care about education
Opinion by Post Editorial Board • 9h

A bombshell Manhattan Institute study on soaring absenteeism in New York schools proves yet again that the state’s education officials have utterly given up on educating children.

Chronic absenteeism (defined as absent 10% or more of the days in a school year) rose across the country in the wake of the COVID lockdowns, most acutely in urban public-school districts.
 
More than a third, 34.8%, of Big Apple public-school kids (about 300,000) missed at least 10% of the 180-day school year in 2024, vs. the pre-pandemic rate of 26.5% in 2019.

Worse: About six in 10 kids in Buffalo and Rochester are now chronically absent, up from about four in 10 in 2019.

The statewide average rose from 15.6% in the 2018-19 school year to 25.1% in 2023-24.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

I wouldn't think the high numbers of illegal aliens has anything to do with the problem.  The time frame is about when he started his open borders program, though. :whistle:

Illegals with parents that have on average a 2nd grade education have a lot to do with absenteeism. 

But clearly, the failure in New York reflects administrators not taking action in regard to chronic missing kids.
