Oh hey I was chronically absent under this definition.

I am glad my parents allowed me to be, because school was really, really damaging to my mental health when I ended up needing to be chronically absent.

Hope you got the help you needed -- but to my point, it doesn't sound like you simply had a cold?

Nope. Not a cold, although that was the excuse :).

And yeah, I simply just needed to be away from school. I guess I’m more so making a point that during the pandemic there was also probably a ton of students who realized they can learn without school, and it might even be better for them.
