A study of persistent absentees and their families
Abstract
S ummary . This paper reports the results of a survey of persistent absentees from school and their families. Four samples were selected: absentees from a secondary school, absentees from its feeding primary schools, absentees who had been referred for specialist advice because of their poor school attendance, and regular attenders. Interviews with parents and pupils showed that all three absentee samples were living in multiply disadvantaged circumstances compared with the regular attenders. The referred pupils tended to present more behaviour problems at home than pupils in the other three samples, but to be socially isolated outside the home.

“Galloway (1980) noted that, per case, absentee youth and their parents endorsed numerous reasons for absenteeism. This suggested to Galloway that categories “over-simplify the true position” (p. 159). It should be noted, however, that some of the SAP categories employed by Galloway were vaguely defined and the Berg et…”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
