[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a former Wilson student. During my senior yr, I know I missed over 70 days. Despite missing those days, I graduated, attended the University of Maryland and now have a rewarding career.  Just because students miss class, doesn't mean they can't grasp the concepts.  Students can watch online content to learn and receive support in other places. School is just a building where learning is "expected" to occur.  Tons of learning happens outside of the classroom and online now.  Also, alot of the senior courses are unnecessary classes. In my case, I only needed to take an English class to graduate, however my counselor gave me other classes that I could BS through and pass easily without attending regularly.

Just my thoughts[/quote]

I’m not a Wilson graduate but I missed more than the allowed number of days my senior year in high school too. Went to a good college, graduated from a top 10 law school, productive member of society. [/quote]

Me, too. I spent most of my last two years of high school practicing my free throws. Doesn’t mean I don’t want more and better for my kids or expect more responsibility with my tax dollars. I’ve also realized how much sooner I would have derived real joy from learning if I had been challenged sooner and more often. [/quote]
