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
@9LZP5VQ2wks2W
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.
@9LZHSM22wks2W
Depends on students background and what they are dealing with, education aside, in their personal life
@9LJSLM61mo1MO
No, there should be help and assistance provided to truant students who are struggling with issues such as health problems or living situations.
@9B593N61yr1Y
No, unless the student has an exceptional reason.
@99LK3981yr1Y
I believe this is a case-by-case subject, and it should have regulations depending on the scenarios.
