A New York Times story revealed that more than 1-in-4 students were chronically absent during the 2022-23 school year. A number that's 2x higher than the 2019-20 school year.
At least some of this chronic absenteeism is due to mental health reasons and specifically, due to school refusal.
School refusal is a complex symptom that can arise from a combination of factors including mental health, bullying, learning difficulties, and stressful life situations.
