School boosts attendance by introducing cafe and food truck program to re-engage students

"Anna Maxwell Martin calls for end to ‘cruel, idiotic’ fines for school absence"
"I think we need to look hard at how we make things better for children in schools. ...
"You can’t teach children to behave better by making them feel shit. It doesn’t work. We need to meet their needs."
Also, "home education increased by 20% between 2022-23 and 2023-24"! Did not know that.

If this many kids adamantly resist going to school, what's going on at #school? Shit like this is not the kids'problem. It's the #educationsystem's problem.
And I'm wondering how many #queer :newpride: :anqueer_flag: kids resist going to school
Lately, I have felt strongly that the most important thing is life.
I used to think of it as ``just fine-sounding talk,'' but as I experience my son's illness, coronavirus, and conflict up close, I realize that there is nothing more important than life.
It doesn't really matter whether children go to school or not.
Even the simple term "#schoolRefusal" comes from a variety of backgrounds and situations.
Even my eldest son and second son were quite different.
However, there are many people in the education world who simply think of all issues in one place, such as, ``How to deal with truancy...''
The number of children not attending school will continue to increase for some time yet...

It is important for children to do a variety of things that they like and find what suits them.
My son is #schoolRefusal, but I feel positive, saying, “He is now able to secure important time by not going to school.''
I don't think he'll be able to find it anytime soon, but I'm rooting for my son who is on a journey to find himself in a small house.
Lately, I hate "let's all get together and do ○○ together" in the office, such as "Monday morning assembly" or "staff training session"...
Isn't this similar to the feeling of child #schoolrefusal?
If I were to imagine that I had to go back to junior high school and live my school life, it would be impossible!

What if #schoolrefusal isn’t the kids but the parents? #covid has still got people scared.
I just wanted to say school refusal is not a new phenomenon!
It's great that there is a name for it now. But please don't pretend it is a new thing.
In my parents' day, they could leave school at a very early age, so refusal was disguised by just leaving school early.
In my time we could leave at 14 and a half.
The kids.. had to be in work or study until 18.
I was a school refuser & I missed a lot of school (starting from year one).
One of the kids ditto!
Being smart helped us to keep up with the normals. We both now have tertiary qualifications.
School was not a pleasant experience. Being flexible on attendance allowed both of us to survive.
School refusal is not new.

When I talk to my mother, she often makes remarks like, "You should do more to your sons." This pattern is usually...
My mother, her brothers, and their children also walked on the general road, so she can't think of #schoolRefusal.
Our conversation doesn't fit...
I still can't say that it’s good my sons became #schoolrefusers, but the #schoolrefusal has taught me a lot.
I think the future problems would have been bigger if they had just gone to school.
My own stereotypes are also gone and my own life is changing.
If my son isn’t a #schoolrefuser, I'm not using SNS now.
I was able to learn a lot of information about #schoolrefusal.
The best thing was that I could hear a lot of voices from the school refusers and their families.
After all, the opinions of experienced people are more convincing than specialists.
When I was a student, I liked mathematics. But now I don't use most of what I learned then. Whether in daily life or at work.
I use a smartphone calculator for multiplication of two digits x two digits...
My son in junior high school has low academic ability (at school). But I don't think that itself will be a big handicap in life.
As long as he is healthy (both physically and mentally).

The hardest time for me after my son became a #schoolrefuser was "when he first stopped going to school."
I was very afraid of deviating from the route because I had a stereotypical idea of education.
If there is a system that can support parents during this period, I think that unnecessary pressure will be reduced and children will be able to spend their time at home with more peace of mind.

When a child reaches junior high school, there is not much that parents can do.
But after my eldest son became a #schoolrefuser, my wife discovered a correspondence high school.
At that time, I was only vaguely worried about the future of my son, but my wife, who was unfamiliar with her smartphone, searched and searched!
Parents can still be of help in the education and higher education systems.

The best thing I experienced as a PTA president at school was "I realized that the school wasn't going well."
Communication between me and the school did not go well, and between teachers also bad..
Schools were not functioning as educational institutions, perhaps due to the lack of teachers.

After my son stopped going to school, I began to doubt "#commonsense" and "normal."
Common sense is often just a majority opinion, and in some cases it is a political or commercial inducement.
The thoughts of children who do not yet know such common sense are rather valuable.
Adults have a lot to learn.

An article titled "The number of #schoolrefusers of university students is increasing."
University isn't compulsory education, so I feel like it's different from #schoolrefusal.
Moreover, quitting the university is not an escape.
A life choice to find another path that suits you.
The article about Internet addiction insisted that online games caused some problems in daily living to 90% of children.
But, I think the cause and the result were opposite.
Firstly, daily living problems happened, then children were absorbed in online games..
I often treat children in a hospital.
I used to focus on the rapid recovery, but now prioritize his/her feeling and mind.
My sons, #schooolrefusers, taught me!
When my sons became #schoolrefusers, some parents told me to go to free school.
But, my sons rejected even free schools.
All school refusers are completely different!
“The findings of this study suggest that youth suicides are closely tied with in-person school attendance.”
https://www.nber.org/papers/w30795
This aligns with experiences in our communities of neurodivergent and disabled people, where we reframe “school refusal” as “school-induced anxiety”. Bullying is only a part of the problem.

This is a really positive story, aimed at dealing with young people's #anxiety around returning to #school post-pandemic. I shall be interested to see what the results are, and I suspect they will be better than punitive approaches that punish parents for children's difficulties.
#SchoolRefusal Too often it's assumed that kids miss school because of poor parenting, which both stigmatises families and excuses the lack of support for genuinely struggling young people.

I've got a lot of friends and colleagues who are struggling with their children 'school refusing'.
I say, I don't call it 'refusing' and when they look puzzled I say, 'I call it voting with their feet'
Who out there suffered 'school trauma'?

@KatyElphinstone My child is currently being bullied and in a meeting to discuss this I referred to it as ‘bullying’, the teachers referred to it as ‘friendship issues’. 😡
BUT!! That wasn’t the worst bit! They then said they would refer to a state wide ABA program if there was mire ‘school refusal’ and they then asked my child:
“Do you know why you have to go to school?”
The answer was; “ To form habits” WHAT!!!???
Apparently that’s what we go to school for!
