I don’t have kids and I watched it and was saddened by the experience these kids are having. I wonder why it’s on the rise. I think more proper research is needed. As someone who went to school decades ago, to me it seems like school is now a lot freerer and adaptive with more supports available than ever before, but it’s not working or having the intended effect? I imagine it’s so tough for the parents. And if a kid falls behind at school it probably just makes it even more terrifying to go, because now they might also feel shame that they aren’t at same level as the other kids. Is catch up tutoring available for those kids? Peeler you are doing great to be advocating for your kids, they are lucky to have you looking out for them.
Felt a bit insulting seeing the “the federal government has stated they will consider further research into school refusal” at the end of the 4C episode. It’s not the fucking metro tunnel, you don’t need a business case. You see a problem, you don’t know why it’s a problem or how to fix it, you order some research to figure out the root causes of the problem, and then you try to solve the problem. It’s not rocket science
