Anne Fine argues that instead of penalizing families for school absenteeism, society should seek to understand the reasons behind it and explore online learning as a viable alternative.
Fine notes that the increase in absenteeism is staggering, with persistent absence doubling since the pandemic, prompting the need for creative solutions to accommodate learners.
She highlights that during COVID, many children thrived in online learning, suggesting that simply insisting on in-school education may not suit every child.
Fine emphasizes that we should question current assumptions about schooling, proposing the exploration of more flexible learning arrangements to address the needs of children.
