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 the U.S. truancy laws are regulated by local school districts and vary widely across the United States. Penalties include fines or jail time for parents or children. In 2019 Presidential candidates Elizabeth Warren and Beto O’Rourke introduced plans that would require the government to decriminalize truancy at the federal level.

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

 @ISIDEWITHasked…6mos6MO

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

 @ISIDEWITHasked…6mos6MO

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

 @ISIDEWITHasked…6mos6MO

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

 @ISIDEWITHasked…6mos6MO

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

 @ISIDEWITHasked…6mos6MO

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

 @ISIDEWITHasked…6mos6MO

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

 @ISIDEWITHasked…6mos6MO

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

 @ISIDEWITHasked…6mos6MO

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

 @ISIDEWITHasked…6mos6MO

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?
