text: The reason why this is a good way to help kids, is sometimes, they cant help but not attend in which case they should be eligible to make up the work that they missed from home on there own time. Sometimes family problems can occur such as; parents cant take them, there mother needs help, family funeral, wedding, and hospital trips. These are all things that the child can not necessarily control and has no power to prevent them. This is why that same child should not have to fall behind their piers because, a family event comes into play, that they cannot control.
