“THE STATUE”
Peace River Shopper
Dad would never tell us about any of his stories while he was writing them so we didn’t expect anything different this time. We knew that we would get to read them when he was done. But this time he kind of wanted our input. After all, this statue was about to scare us to death. So, one day we all went down to his office and he asked us a few questions and told us a few things about his gargoyle statue. The first thing he wanted to do was give us his idea of how these things got started. He thought that it might be a good idea if he told how the things lived and how they survived all these years. He began with what he called the facts of the case. In the beginning of the gargoyles there was only one, probably a throwback from some other sort of animal, one that the mother didn’t want to have anything to do with. But the runt it wasn’t. It got to be a good size animal but very weak. It was shy and afraid of the other creatures and would always live in caves and cracks in the earth, but caves and cracks in the earth was where the bats lived also. All kinds of bats, big ones, little ones, ones that ate birds and ones that sucked blood from other animals. The gargoyle would have to be very careful not to disturb the bats or they would run him right out of his hiding place. One night a big bat came into the corner of the cave where he was sleeping. This bat was different. It was huge, maybe a throwback as well, and it seemed to be interested in the gargoyle. Most of the other bats in that cave were a lot smaller and probably didn’t get along with this big bat. That probably caused it to look for companionship elsewhere. Anyway the two became friendly in the usual way and began their gargoyle/bat family. That was where the gargoyle line started. The big wings and the flying part, along with the great big teeth came from the bat part, and the bigger size and hunting of large animals, as well as the humongous appetite came from the gargoyle. Things were working out good for them. They always had plenty of food and usually a pretty good place to sleep. Once they ran the smaller bats out of a cave it became theirs. Over the years the family grew and there became more and more of them. Soon they were out in the public too much and developed something a little different from the other animals. When they would fly into a city or town, they would look for the highest building and sit there like a statue. They could be so still that they looked just like one, and they could keep this up for weeks. All they needed was just a tiny bit of water and they could stay still even longer but, if they got too much water on them at one time, they would have to move. As he told the story, this part had my sister and I looking at each other. I am sure we were thinking the same thing. If we poured a bunch of water on our statue we could see if it was real or not. Right? But we kept our cool and let dad go on with his story. He said that one day one of the gargoyles was down in an alley and was startled by a drunk. The drunk tried to kill the gargoyle. While waving his big knife about, the drunk was mostly cutting himself. The huge gargoyle was able to keep away from him and flew off. But, of course that’s not the way the drunk told the story. He went around town telling everyone how this huge gargoyle had attacked him and cut him all up. Well of course the people were scared and wanted this thing killed, so everyone started searching for the gargoyle, but no one knew that they were all around them all the time. The statues on top of their building were all gargoyles. They had been there for years, high above them, just watching…

Key Research Chang, Hedy and Romero, Mariajose, Present, Engaged and Accounted For: The CriticalImportance of Addressing Chronic Absence inthe Early Grades, National Center for Children in Poverty, New York, NY, September 2008. This report documents the consequences, prevalence, potential causes and possible solutions to children missing extended periods of school in grades thousands of this countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s youngest students are academically K-3rd. Although students must be present and engaged to learn, Nationally, an estimated one in 10 at-risk because of extended absences when they first embark upon their school careers. kindergarten and first-grade students are chronically absent. The report recommends that schools, communities and families monitor and promote attendance, as well as to identify and address barriers to good attendance.
Balfanz, Robert, Lisa Herzog and Douglas J. MacIver, Preventing Student Disengagement and Keeping Students on the Graduation Path in Middle-Grades Schools: Early Identification and Effective Interventions , Educational Psychologist, 42(4), 223â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 235, 2007. This study examines the application of an early identification and intervention system for students in the middle grades to prevent student disengagement and increase graduation rates. The authors follow a cohort of students to demonstrate how indicators reflecting poor attendance, misbehavior and course failure in sixth grade can be used to identify 60% of the students who will not graduate from high school. The authors find that by combining effective whole-school reforms with attendance, behavioral, and extra-help interventions, graduation rates can be substantially increased.
Balfanz, R., and Byrnes, V., The Importance of Being in School: A Report on Absenteeism in the Nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Public Schools. Johns Hopkins University Center for Social Organization of Schools, Baltimore, Md., 2012. This report analyzes data on chronic absenteeism at the state level to begin the process of mapping its extent and characteristics. Although currently only a handful of states collect data on chronic absenteeism, results from a sample of states suggest that an estimated 10-15% of students in the U.S. are chronically absent each year. The report also highlights some promising practices among cities, school districts and nonprofits to combat chronic absenteeism. The authors offer policy recommendations on tracking and reporting chronic absence data and evidence-based interventions.
Bruner, Charles, Anne Discher and Hedy Chang, Chronic Elementary Absenteeism: AProblem Hidden in Plain Sight, Child and Family Policy Center and Attendance Works, November 2011. This study confirms the premise that districts and schools may fail to detect high levels of chronic absence because the problem is easily masked by average daily attendance, one of the most commonly calculated attendance measures. While many educators assume a 95% ADA rate is an indicator of good attendance, the authors find that this is often not the case.
