Teacher Assigns Passive-Aggressive Crossword Puzzle After Student is Absent For One Day

There are many different ways for educators and school administrators to prevent truancy. The most crucial step is to meet with parents to figure out why a kid is repeatedly absent from class. The child or the parent might have health issues that the school doesn't know about, or they might discover that a teen is going behind their parent's back and skipping class without their permission. Whatever the case, it's a good policy for schools to call about any unexcused absences. 

On the other hand, there is a wrong way for a teacher to prevent absence in their class. Calling out a student by name and shaming them for missing school can make them feel humiliated about something completely out of their control. One parent found a seemingly passive-aggressive worksheet in her 3rd grader's folder after he had his first absence of the year, and it rang alarm bells for parents and educators alike.
