Therefore, the schools will get maximum funding from the state for students that don't show up on any other day. It will end up wasting serious tax payer money on a school district that has done nothing but provide negative results year after year. [/quote] :JeopTHAT: [/quote] Explain again? Shit. Ok. Single parent home. Kids home alone. Kid thinks he can stretch a few more days of summer without Mom knowing. School needs all the students there for count day. Not 2 days later when Mom finds out. A motivational tool for the kids. Whats so fucking hard to understand about that? Most kids do not want to go on the first day. Do the count and 5,000 more students show up in the first week. Its a win win. Common sense is lacking in a rush to eat the poor. Pfffft [/quote]
