[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would argue that determining an excused versus unexcused absence is not equal across the district. And parents know how to game the system- more than 1.3% of Walls kids miss 20 days of school a year- their parents just know how to get those absences excused.[/quote] 20 days is a LOT. It takes a big effort to miss that much in HS and presumably most Walls families care about academics and won’t miss that much. Also DCPS is pretty strict about how they determine excused/unexcused. Are you seriously arguing that 50% of Walls students miss 4 weeks of school and their parents give fake dr notes?[/quote]
