Something happens when a child stops going to school.
The first question is usually how to get them back.
That may be the wrong question.
The word matters
Japan has a word that changes the frame: 不登校 (futōkō).
It describes non-attendance without automatically telling us why the student is absent.
That distinction matters.
What if refusing school is sometimes information about the system rather than simply failure by the child?
Look at the system
This is test copy, not a finished OUTSIDE article.
We are using it to determine whether the new publishing architecture can accept an article that does not contain FIELD, SIGNAL, DISPATCH, DIAGNOSIS, BUILD, or ARCHIVE sections.
If this page renders correctly, OUTSIDE is no longer structurally dependent on the old Field Document format for new articles.
What comes next
Then we can build the actual editorial workflow around research, evidence, Japanese context, alternatives, and useful conclusions.
