Okay, go on with your original codes and symbols for cutting classes like the small red triangles. I will make them see the wisdom of consistency in presenting the am and pm for each case - absent, tardy and cutting classes. You will get perplexed by their formula. Half day absent is .5, whole day absence is 1, while tardy, whether am only, pm only or am and pm is counted as 1. cutting classes has no bearing in the daily total attendance.
