[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The school did not send that message because of racism or discrimination. They sent it for 2 reasons, 1: Attendance rate is a part of a schools accreditation. FCPS wants to ensure all of its schools are accredited. 2. Their is a direct correlation between attendance and gpa. [b]Sure there are some outliers but the majority of students need to be in school to do well and missing school creates gaps in their learning[/b]. [/quote] This is what strains credibility. There’s no educational justification for our calendar, kids at the younger, critical ages don’t benefit from lack of repetition and routine. [b]So to say missing school creates gaps— while potentially true— ignores the gaps the school creates and considers just fine[/b]. [/quote] THIS X 100 [/quote]
