[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]10% of schools days is 18 days: 3 for a family winter ski trip, 3 for travel team trips, 5 down with the flu, 1 random fever, 2 bad cold, 3 to visit colleges, 1 protest march, 1 more protest march, 1 dental appointment that lasted longer than expected.[/quote] Exactly. this is us and we live in Ward three and our kids are A and B students with 2 to 3 APs a year. This statistic is fime. Kids spend 180 days in public school--it's too much and many days are wasted with substitute teachers and generally the same inefficient pedagogy that plagues all formalized in-school classes, public or private. This is a meaningless metric for high achieving students, which comprises the remaining 55% of graduating students. Get a grip, OP. It could be better, but it's fine for most of the student population at Wilson. [/quote]
