Students should be allowed to miss at least one day a week for many reasons. Students have homework, classwork, tests, quizzes, and much more during their week to complete. Students should miss at least one day a week to have a mental health day, spend time with family, or catch up with previous schoolwork.
Studies show students miss about 10% of the school year, which is roughly 18 days. Missing more school can also improve your academic performance, mental and physical health in many ways. When you miss school, you can take time to de-stress, recharge, and rest, which can lead to reduced stress levels. Missing school can also allow you to focus more on sports, pursue your hobbies, spend time with family, and engage in extracurricular activities.
In my opinion, missing school can improve your academic performance and your mental and physical health in many ways.
