Did Lee Oswald Attend 52 Different Schools simultaneously While Tap Dancing in Tapioca Pudding?
 

The hardlyLeedotnut version:

1953 Beauregard JHS record showing HARDLY Oswald attended 89 days of school during the fall semester of 1953, at the same time LEE Oswald attended PS 44 in New York City. 

 
Reality:
What the record actually shows in the document used to support this claim is a "re ad" figure of 89 days for the fall semester. This figure represents the number of available school days after absenses. It is not
an indicator of the number of days attended unless the student has been enrolled for the whole period. This was not the case with Lee. The allegation that there was overlap between Beauregard and PS44 in New York City is simply bogus and is the result of the research equivalent of "creative accounting".
 
Lee's Overall attendance for Beauregard (see opposite):
1953-54 shows 5 days absences and 179 remaining school days in that year. Oswald did not attend the full school year so the re ad figure is not an indication of attendance days.
 
1954-1955 shows 12 days absenses and 168 remaining school days in that year. Oswald did attend the full year, so this latter figure does equal days attendance.
