  If 25.2%  to 33% of the students aren't even there, the teachers whining for more money because of huge class sizes are just blowing smoke!  
  
  A 36-person class room is only a 24-person classroom!  
  
  
  The other 12 'students' don't really exist!
  
  They aren't judged on graduation rates, they aren't judged on test results and they aren't judged for not educating the 66% to 75% who actually are there!
  
  It's win-win-win!
