I'm a high school teacher. On a daily basis, nearly half of my students are absent from 1st period. The students have unilaterally decided to arrive to campus at their desired convenience. This dynamic makes it incredibly difficult to develop program coherence. From what I understand, the problem is ubiquitous on our campus. Attendance across my other classes isn't much better.

Personally, I've kind of just resigned to caring about anything -- I've become as apathetic as the students that I teach. I feel like I'm simply "collecting" a paycheck at this point. This isn't healthy from a professional standpoint.
