1
00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:03,560
Speaker 1: And Amanda jam Nation.

2
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:05,920
Speaker 2: Down to the Jernsey. The matter rounds to the pub test.

3
00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:07,400
Speaker 1: Kids staying home from school?

4
00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:08,639
Speaker 3: Does it pass the pub test?

5
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:09,000
Speaker 1: Well?

6
00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:11,120
Speaker 4: The stats are a bit alarming. More than nine million

7
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:14,040
Speaker 4: days of learning were lost last year, that's what students lost,

8
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:16,599
Speaker 4: and they say that there's a ten percent increase in

9
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:19,119
Speaker 4: student absences that are not marked as valid in the

10
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 4: first terms of this year alone. You know, obviously taking

11
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:29,160
Speaker 4: time off school harms your education. You're learning, your scholastic abilities,

12
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 4: et cetera, and your social skills may be But there's

13
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:33,519
Speaker 4: a lot more reasons these days why kids want to

14
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 4: stay home. Mental health days, kids need to look after

15
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:39,200
Speaker 4: emotional state. We recognize when kids are physically ill, maybe

16
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 4: we need to recognize when they're not quite up to

17
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 4: it emotionally. So, how do you feel kids staying home

18
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,520
Speaker 4: from school? Is it past the pub test?

19
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 2: It's a muss. It's good for the kids, it's good

20
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:51,600
Speaker 2: for the adult. You know, sometimes they get to school

21
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 2: and they're doing further or I could use another word

22
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 2: that I don't And yeah, so I think the kids

23
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 2: for their mental health and for the parents' mental health,

24
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 2: sometimes you could give them a day off. I think

25
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:01,959
Speaker 2: you've got to go on holidays. If he's dutched up

26
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:04,679
Speaker 2: to dude, then yeah, he patses the pub test. Definitely.

27
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 3: I think it does because sometimes it stay age secutes

28
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 3: still today have a few issues. Sometimes I just know

29
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 3: that time I'm off to recap, you know, keep their

30
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 3: mental health back in order. So I think it does

31
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 3: pass the publict Being a parent, then you need to

32
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 3: look out for these ecusements, make sure that their health

33
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 3: and wellness, and.

34
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 1: There will be to check it does pass the pub

35
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 1: text in certain areas. My grandson has slight turetts and

36
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 1: he gets anxious and there's a lot of bullying going

37
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 1: on at school, and that's why he starts saying a

38
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 1: hell I would like because he's scared. It does pass

39
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:38,119
Speaker 1: the pub test.

40
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 4: Oh see, these are the stories, aren't they. You have

41
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:42,039
Speaker 4: to be open to all of that.
