Sometimes reporters fail to address the  obvious questions. In this case, if 
the school system reports up to 2,000  students not in school each day, and 
the task force found only about ten of  them-WHERE WERE THE OTHER 1,990 of 
them????? Obviously, the taskforce wasn't  looking in the right places. Were the 
students at home in front of video  games? or possibly working to raise money 
for the family?? or  where?
    This article just  proves that we have no idea where they are and maybe 
we should, so we can  address the problem. 
" Thursday's low  numbers as a sign of progress"-I don't think so!!
