Elementary schools often track
average daily attendance or unexcused absences (truancy) 1, but few
monitor the combination of excused and unexcused absence for individual students.
From the
attendance monitored at sessions at school and self reports to document meditations at home, which included 240 possible school and home meditation sessions, a determination of
average compliance of the TM group for twice
daily practice was calculated as 71.6 %.
