Truancy in schools is a big issue & as a result schools tell students & parents of the risk of having to appear before a judge & might be assessed a fine for not attending school. This is used to encourage students to go to school, which is only part of the battle, because once they are there they need to be willing to work & learn. I think it is a waste of taxpayer dollars to spend money to check on an issue that does not exist. It would have been better spent on tutoring them instead!
