California law repealing criminal penalties for parents of chronically truant kids took effect yesterday. Kamala Harris was, of course, a big fan of this when she was San Francisco County DA.

[From the darkness of truancy to a new light] High school truancy is not ‘spoiled behaviour’ but a complex cry for help from the heart.
Don't keep it to yourself; seek professional support and find your own path.
There is definitely light in your future. #truancy #highschoolstudents
"As a result, Dunbabin said they're seeing some children come to school on lunch days and not on other days."

I wonder how much Rimmer is spending on truancy officers to in his attempts to increase school attendance? Maybe that money would be better spent on providing school lunches that students actually want to eat?
An example of how specific policies negatively affected Black ppl in concentrated areas of poverty👇🏿. #history #truancy #roberttaylorhomes #chicago #politics

When k-12 teachers go on strike, I always have mixed thoughts.
When I read the demands of the teachers who strike I dually note them, and it all makes sense ( my spouse is an educator--- a sub-- and is treated very poorly on account of being Autistic), YET, the way strikers are going about it is poorly organized.
I think that bringing parents of students into the fight is IMPERATIVE.
The teachers are not the victims of the students. As exploited and manipulated as teachers are, it will never equate the oppression of youth.
Teachers won't be ultimately successful at striking, and winning those strikes, unless they bring their students, and students' families into that fight.
A teacher can't be arrested for repeatedly not showing up to work. A teacher won't lose custody of their family for not showing up to work. Parents do lose custody of children for repeat truancy. Students do have to show up to court for repeated truancy.
(This next part is especially toward educators)
NORMALIZE STUDENTS NOT SHOWING UP TO SCHOOL. NORMALIZE STUDENTS PROTESTING THAT SYSTEM.
Don't over explain and explain and explain how you're undervalued as an educator and then in a different post, talk about the problems of truancy and students "giving up".
It seems like you had no problem with being part of the school to prison pipeline as long as it benefitted you.
You all sound like you want increased pay and benefits for being the children's prison guards
Hypocrisy and double standards smell worse than fresh dogs' droppings on a hot summer day.

had a conversation with a parenting friend and guess we'll have to pay kids to go back to school at some point 😬 #truancy #absenteeism

This is why uneducated laypersons shouldn't pretend to be experts in subjects they clearly have no expertise in. Yes, there's a link between #truancy and drug use, teen #pregnancy, #delinquency, and low self-esteem. However, a CAUSAL link hasn't been established. This #judge doesn't understand the significance of that, and assumed that imposing draconian punishments for truancy would somehow mitigate those other conditions. Correlation isn't causation, judge.

Bloody Labour wanting to centralise everything! Oh wait... this is ACT policy announced in 2022...
"Accountability for schools through mandatory reporting - Schools would be required to report their attendance daily and failing to do so would risk losing funding."

#Truancy - The act of playing truant, or the state of being truant; as, addicted to truancy.
