I know, right?! Some are homeschooled, I'm sure, but they're still on our rosters.
Folks were pretty angry about the kids having to wear masks. It got ugly here with protests and walk-outs and hostility. I'm guessing they just told their kids they didn't have to go if we had to wear masks. We don't have to wear them anymore, but the kids just aren't coming. Idk.
There was a bill passed (AB 104) that excused seniors from some credits because it would be impossible for them to make up everything they missed during virtual schooling. I know that prompted some kids to stay home. I think others are just thinking they'll go to summer school. I don't know what they'll do, tbh. Maybe GED?
We live where blue collar jobs are the norm, so graduation isn't as much of a necessity when you can work for dad's construction company or landscaping business at any time.
