20% of DC students don't show for day 2 of school

This is ridiculous.
About 20 percent of students enrolled in D.C. public schools were absent on the second day of class this week, according to attendance records provided by school system officials.

Many students who had enrolled were not present because they had not registered for classes, Chancellor Michelle A. Rhee said last night. It was not clear yesterday how much of the attendance problem was due to students who had not registered on time and how much was due to students who didn't show up for other reasons.

CNN had an artical today saying that 88% of DC Students can not read. I was looking for the artical when I found this. Just wanted to let you know.
