In Italy, IIRC, some kind of rule explicitly specifies the maximum number of days, and the maximum number of consecutive days, a school child can be absent (except for health reason). Otherwise, would going to school four days a week count as “attending”? Natural language’s fuzziness is a feature in normal usage, but a bug if you have a law and you need to decide how to handle borderline cases.
