I feel like school truancy is stupid because good kids who have hard things going on in life, and can't always be in school shouldn't have to bare consequences schools should at least speak with the students . But if a kid doesn't try and it naturally bad they should bare the consequences.
@9H2KZLK6mos6MO
Those students may be good kids but no matter what is going on at home there should be a valiant effort in trying to come to school. There should be that conversation had with the family and the student but there needs to be some consequence on not coming to school each day.
@9H2H9RL6mos6MO
If we have more educated, well rounded students and more people are trying to get a good education, this increases the amount of educated and intelligent people around the country, there is nothing wrong with that that i can think of.
@9H2DDNL6mos6MO
If a child is not going to school, it is harming their education. If they are close to falling under that title of truancy, finding a way to continue education is important. Life is hard but a good school system can help a child who is missing too much school to stay on track.
@9H2CHT96mos6MO
School truancy is an excuse to participate in these hard things in life such as gangs, drugs, and sexual relations so it should be outlawed.
@DirtHutCaver2023Libertarian 6mos6MO
If the government shouldn't decriminalize school truancy, what will you do to make school more-engaging and educational? How will you provide better access to school for those who can't get to school easily? Etc.
Basically, how would you make school worth going to? At the moment, school isn't very worth going to, so I feel like it's not fair to punish kids for truancy. But, Idk.
@9H22JZH6mos6MO
My argument is that some kids can have problems at home, family emergencies, or lack of a way to get to school. They should not be criminalized if they're less than 10 minutes late or don't have transportation.
@9FSV9897mos7MO
It should only be towards children who do not attend school on their own accord. If it is for a good reason they should not be marked truant as you never know what they are going through.
@9LYTKYL 2wks2W
Students have different things they have to worry about like church, work, or taking care of family (siblings)
@9LY5B3Q2wks2W
I am a teacher, most students that are here don't want to be here, if you take away the possible consequence, you take away any incentive to come and do well.
@9LFYYN4 1mo1MO
Every child should be free, school is not a prison and every kid should come to school willingly by their parents or their own interest.
@9KVPLX9Republican2mos2MO
COVID proved that people can get work done and learn from being at home. Some students are struggling with issues and aren't comfortable coming to school, but don't necessarily need to go to the doctor.
@9J64MRPWomen’s Equality4mos4MO
I say no because people should have to right to keep their kids home without having to get charged with a crime that is not hurting anyone .

@9GTHJX76mos6MO
There are a variety of reasons students are truant. There needs to be support services from the local community to promote school attendance and educate the parents to know that there are attendance requirements.
@9GSXCLJ6mos6MO
If not everyone graduates with basic knowledge from school, then how are the jobs requiring basic knowledge going to be filled. We can't have a country of only burger flippers.
@9GMN7F37mos7MO
schools don't know what the kid is going through and someone shouldn't be charged for skipping a class like art
@9GY6X8P6mos6MO
Some students can’t make it to school on time and the school punishes them if they’re late so they would rather skip the day than be punished for just coming in late.
@9FPRDHM8mos8MO
It's stupid. Things happen to where kids can't come to school like getting sick. They shouldn't be punished for getting sick
@9FPL67T8mos8MO
All children under the age of seventeen should be required to go to school with a students being able to miss school if the school had approved the reason for the absence.
@9FNBX5W8mos8MO
It is stupid to count truancy against kids when most of the time they can’t even get there by themselves.
@9FPT86Q8mos8MO
The school truancy is so unfair for students, it should be decriminalized. Some students have issues with making it on time or with transportation.
@9FZ9XB77mos7MO
i think kids that attend school should have at least a month of school to miss because some kids just do be tired and need a break we all do and nobody can disagree with that but they still will attend most of the school year. it also shouldn't be that big of a consequence.
@9FX7RDH7mos7MO
Some students may not have reliable transportation to get to school. Others may not do well in a school environment and would do better elsewhere, so why should they be legally punished?
