absences

  • While the attendance rate for the district is very good, Stockman said, 26.6 percent of the Top 50 students in the district’s seven high schools have missed between 10 and 19 days of school and 6.3 percent missed 20 days or more.
  • “We have students who miss 50 days of school and graduate in the Top 50 of their class. And we know the reasons. A lot of them are working on Florida Virtual School to get (Advanced Placement) and honors credits.”

      What does this say about what goges on in school? What does it say about the hybrid model of Brick and Mortar schools and cyber schools?
  • students who have accrued 10 or more absences in a semester to the intervention team to be considered for denial of credit. Credit denial results in an “L” being placed next tot he semester grade on the student’s report card and in the student’s grade history. The grade will not be figured into the student’s grade point average.

  • Stockman said the consequences reflect the School Board’s philosophy that “the classroom experience is of unique value and it cannot be duplicated by make-up work. Student interaction and the development of ideas through discussion are lost when a student is absent.”

      Is this board simply resisting the inevitable change? Or, do you agree that the classroom experience cannot be duplicated and is essential to the education of the student? Or, is it just that the quality of the makeup work is poor?

    Is this a sign of things to come? What do YOU think of the idea of punishing the kids who don't come to school yet get good grades?
