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.

I dont think it should be criminalized however with excessive truancy there should be an attempt made by the school to find the cause and fix the issue at hand
@9LZP5VQ7mos7MO
I don't think that the government should have much of a stance on whether it should be legal or not. It should be by the school district.
@9LZHSM27mos7MO
Depends on students background and what they are dealing with, education aside, in their personal life
@9LJSLM68mos8MO
No, there should be help and assistance provided to truant students who are struggling with issues such as health problems or living situations.
@99B27ZZ2yrs2Y
No and Yes. Students should be encouraged to spend more time learning with a better school systems and those students with burn out or depressions, should get more free days to cope with it, so they don't have to stay away from school illegal in the first place.
@96LR9RK2yrs2Y
It's quiet extreme, but also fair
@96FXKYG2yrs2Y
No, but it would be wonderful to give children somewhat of legal possibility to homeschool a few days a half year within reason.
