[quote=Anonymous]I don't know how they figure out these truancy figures, but I can tell you that there are many families that will allow their JR kids (particularly seniors) to essentially stop going to school during the month of June when AP tests are done and the teacher has basically said the class is done. The school year is basically over, yet there are 2-3 more weeks of literally nothing happening...it's just daycare for 18 year olds that don't need daycare. Again, these are high-performing kids who are going to good colleges. The AP schedule makes it so that you have to teach a year's worth of class by the beginning of May so that kids are prepared for the AP tests that are largely done by May 15.[/quote]
