Lightning Ridge Central School are running a program called EVERYDAY COUNTS and the name says it all. Every day your child misses a day of learning they fall further behind. Every day your child misses one lesson they fall further behind. Every day your child falls behind it becomes harder and harder to keep up with their peers. This becomes frustrating, the student becomes less inclined to engage with their education, they become more likely to miss more school and fall further behind. This would be bad enough if it simply meant that their grades would fall unfortunately what it does mean is that their entire life becomes less successful, they have less opportunities and have to work much harder.
