Post-Pandemic Attendance Trends
This chapter discusses the rise of 'flaking out' in social institutions, particularly in relation to school attendance and workplace participation in the post-pandemic era. It explores how remote work and cultural shifts have normalized absenteeism, impacting students' connections to school and their overall well-being. The chapter also highlights the alarming increase in chronic absenteeism among students, the disconnect between parental perceptions and educational outcomes, and the urgent need to address these trends for long-term recovery.
