The unofficial word is "crisis at home." I know that is pretty vague but one thing I know for sure is that he's been gone for almost a week. What appears to have occurred happens quite a bit at our school. Here one day and gone the next. Why does this happen? When your school is located in a low income neighborhood it could be for any number of reasons.
You met this scholar in my August 31st post. A third grade scholar with a lot of energy who could really test a teacher's patience wrote me a letter telling me how much he appreciates me for dealing with all his problems. His letter is laminated and taped to a cabinet behind my desk. Right next to this letter on a 3x5 card I wrote the following. People often ask me why I do what I do. This letter tells you why.
Well, as of this post he is gone and it really bothers me. Please keep the young scholar who is involved in a "crisis at home" in your prayers. If the situation changes and he returns to school I'll let you know.
