[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. So to say missing school creates gaps— while potentially true— ignores the gaps the school creates and considers just fine. [/quote]
