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.

Personal opinion is that some level of education is required to fully function in modern society. The basics like math, language, history, etc. Plus school offers a good way for kids to socialize with others their age which is important.

Now on the other hand, the current format of waking kids up at 8AM, loading them with homework, forcing them to take standardized tests… that all is a bit much.
