Truancy and false test (for those "late start Monday Moaners") 

Last in class - as in beyond tardiness, these are the phantom pupils, who only show up, on paper. The ones that are only getting counted, as the true reason schools are failing even the pre-test. The one which is comprised of the simplest of formulas, beyond those that use various computational derivatives for figuring out much each local district will get back, from the state's formula for per pupil funding, which is in turn a multiple of two different days per year. While nearly 388,000 of our home-groan kiddos are going about the business of what out, in the world of labor shortages, is called "quiet quitting" -- simply not showing up. AKA "chronically absent". Where biz and the business of teaching the future "workers of tomorrow" share an alarming concern is that on the simplest of tests, they're not even answering...the alarm. Which inevitably leads to the multiple choice question...is what used to be called a "Truancy Officer"...the one that comes to visit you, when you've been AWOL, a True friend (listed under letter A for "Ally")...or E for "Enforcer" or the default for those who have missed the test prep...B as in "Both😕" -- representing some type of combination of roles (...and excuses)? This, from a list of fun faker facts the Alliance of School Avoidance - "Care enough to join us?" Just made this motto up, but sure sounds like a decent model, solution to the true problem plaguing our schools and workplaces these daze.

(for an alternate, roughly equivalent form of the test: "fill in the blank...spaces"😞)

  "King David, where art Thou?" Here and Now: When I need and you most...for a quote, a tip, let alone a quip... Clever crafted commentary: At his best, in his field, "In my humble opinion..."  "Coming to you tonight..." Each and every night, assuming we welcomed him with his partner, known in our home, as simply "Chet" when we referred to him on his own, but more formally when paired with "David" as the "Huntley-Brinkley" reporting team... Distinctly Brinkley: who got called on whenever things around here, US, were on the brink... "Sow, David..." It's how I heard it, and still remember it, as he was asked to comment, well into the eve of what was casted to be his final telecast of this type, on the eve of a second coming...of the Clintons, their return to the White House...a second (merry) go round... "For the love of Mike!" While he was not shy of the microphone, having gotten used to one on his desk ...
