Chapter 9: When Things Go Wrong

One thing that surprised me in this chapter was the story about the guy who only went to school before the report cards came out and for the final but still managed to get B's.

This surprised me because I don't understand how even with 150 kids each day a teacher could just not notice that a students is absent all the time or that they haven't turned in work all year. Even in a larger school I expect the teachers to be paying enough attention to realize that kid hasn't been in school. It is no wonder that so many kids feel invisible, especially their first year of high school.
