The reason kids stay at home may vary, if a child is being punished because it is going through a psychologically straining patch that would be unfair.

Truancy criminalized for those "skipping" - not an uncontrollable situation

 @93GS9ZW from Pennsylvania answered…2yrs2Y

Yes. Truancy should be treated more from a social services perspective than from a legal perspective; criminalizing truancy only leads to increased legal problems and increased incarceration for low-income individuals.

Except for truancy in which the student has done illegal activities or truancy in which the parent allows and/or ignores it, Yes, it should be decriminalized.

Yes, but states should determine the level of punishment for chronic cases

 @9334YP3answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, it is a matter between the truant, their parents and the school, in which the government should have no say.

depends on why the student isn't going to school. If they arent going to school because they have to provide for their families, give them some way for them to go to school while they can still provide. If they aren't going because they just don't want to, make them go to school

 @8ZSXDG3 from Kentucky answered…2yrs2Y

Depending on reasoning and if they still have access t school work to pass.

 @7PTCG38 from Wisconsin answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, parents should only have civil responsibility for voluntary school absences of their child that last beyond one week. Fines and other penalties should be determined by local school districts

 @8YJYYGW from Illinois answered…2yrs2Y

No, since it is based on students own free will, their punishment will be falling behind in classes and not being able to graduate/ get into college/ be successful in the future

 @8YCMD93 from California answered…2yrs2Y

I think that it should be decriminalized for children but not for parents who are purposely keeping their children from going to school.

 @8XNT9ZQ from Florida answered…2yrs2Y

No and no longer allow students to drop out at age 16 - the rationale behind this is archaic.

  Deletedanswered…2yrs2Y

No

No, this will cause other students to become truant due to legally not being required to be in school, which can lead to job deficiency decreasing due to lack of needed skills.

  Deletedanswered…2yrs2Y

No

No, this will cause other students to become truant due to legally not being required to be in school, which can lead to job deficiency decreasing due to lack of needed skills. Students should be mandated to receive proper educations, but establish federal guidelines for the investigation of absences and increase access to education in low income communities and more needs to be done to see why children are not going to school.

Yes, implement social workers help families identify the root problem.

 @8WRM87M from North Carolina answered…2yrs2Y

No, as long as ways for low-income families to get their children to school are implemented.
