Should the government decriminalize school truancy?

Truancy is intentional, unjustified, unauthorized, or illegal absence from compulsory education. Its absence is caused by students of their own free will and does not apply to excused absences. In Germany local child services or social services officers may request the police to escort the child to school, and in extreme cases may petition a court to partially or completely remove child custody from the parents.

Have you ever felt that school wasn't a priority for you, and if so, why?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…7mos7MO

Should parents be punished for their children's truancy, or is that unfair to parents facing difficult circumstances?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…7mos7MO

What do you think motivates some students to skip school, even though they know it's against the rules?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…7mos7MO

Is there a way schools could be more engaging to prevent students from wanting to miss class?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…7mos7MO

Do you think missing school regularly can lead to long-term problems, or can students still succeed without perfect attendance?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…7mos7MO

Have you ever known someone who struggled with attending school, and did they ever tell you why?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…7mos7MO

If a student skips school, do you think they should be punished or rather helped to figure out why they're skipping?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…7mos7MO

Do truancy laws actually help students, or do they just make things harder for those already struggling?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…7mos7MO

How would you feel if the government decriminalized truancy, making it non-punishable by law?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…7mos7MO

What do you think would make a student feel like staying in school is worth it, especially for those who don't always show up?
