Missing Trevyan Rowe (14)

[Donovan]

There is another story being told, as yet unconfirmed to my knowledge, that Trevyan was inadvertently marked as present despite obviously being gone. There are a lot of stories going around right now, most focusing on whatever the school did to fail him. I have tremendous sympathy for the family but a tragedy is a tragedy and one of the shortcomings of this situation no one likes to discuss is that city/public schools are notoriously underfunded and continually under attack for budget/taxes/etc. As evidenced by the recent national spotlight on Trump asking for teachers to also be cops, and DeVos saying that diverting public funds to charter and religious private schools make public schools "perform better". It's a horrible, no-win scenario for teachers and is why my degree sits unused.
