truancy helps weed out the kids that don't want to be there and the parents who don't care. they do the most harm to students that actually want to learn something.
so the deterrent to jailing them later in their lives because they didn't get an education (the stats ... the stats) is to jail them now? let them earn jail with violent crimes later on, not on these petty bullshyt to get people in the system.
you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink.
you have to try something, if you told me I could go to school or jail, what mindful person would choose jail? it's ridiculous to fault this because any sane person would choose schoool but we have some real works of art, people like @storyteller @CheckMate who just want to skip school and ask for free stuff later because they made poor life decisions.
