L’assetjament escolar és una absència intencionada, injustificada, no autoritzada o il·legal de l’ensenyament obligatori. La seva absència és causada pels estudiants de lliure albir i no s’aplica a les absències excusades. Als Estats Units, les lleis d’automatització estan regulades pels districtes escolars locals i varien àmpliament entre els Estats Units. Les penes inclouen multes o temps de presó per a pares o fills. El 2019, les candidatures a la presidència, Elizabeth Warren i Beto O’Rourke, van introduir plans que requeririen que el govern despenalitzés la triança a nivell federal.

Have you ever felt that school wasn't a priority for you, and if so, why?
@ISIDEWITH3mos3MO
Should parents be punished for their children's truancy, or is that unfair to parents facing difficult circumstances?
@ISIDEWITH3mos3MO
What do you think motivates some students to skip school, even though they know it's against the rules?
@ISIDEWITH3mos3MO
Is there a way schools could be more engaging to prevent students from wanting to miss class?
@ISIDEWITH3mos3MO
Do you think missing school regularly can lead to long-term problems, or can students still succeed without perfect attendance?
@ISIDEWITH3mos3MO
Have you ever known someone who struggled with attending school, and did they ever tell you why?
@ISIDEWITH3mos3MO
If a student skips school, do you think they should be punished or rather helped to figure out why they're skipping?
@ISIDEWITH3mos3MO
Do truancy laws actually help students, or do they just make things harder for those already struggling?
@ISIDEWITH3mos3MO
How would you feel if the government decriminalized truancy, making it non-punishable by law?
@ISIDEWITH3mos3MO
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?
