Wrong. There are multiple reasons for that. One of them is that education quality is horrible and very uninteresting.

School does not mean knowledge. It's designed for making obedient robots rather than intelligent people. As Albert Einstein said, imagination is more important than knowledge. There's too much memorizing and little understanding.

The way it's designed, is just like prison. People are FORCED with no choice to go there for an horrible, low quality education.

Arresting parents that the children need is really helping?

I'm an honor roll student in middle school. Take it from me, and not some adult or psychologist. I HATE school. It is uninteresting, and not open to new things. There is a 30 page book of rules. It is a prison. We literally are a number and an address. No privacy. Just to prove myself, watch this:

Chloroacetophenone

Antidisestablishmentarionism

Children do not HAVE to go to school-Consider unschooling your child so they can learn naturally. Check out my video, It Only Hurts When I'm In School.

"civil" war will be fought on the matter of school

I really think if the parents were charged with child neglect and sentenced to 40 to 80 of cleaning up inner-city trash. I bet the kids would be in school and well behaved.

To bad your kids don’t like school. Your kids need a good education be it a home school, private or public. Just so they can demonstrated they meet or hopefully exceed the standards. They need an good education.

So, I have been sick for quite a while and I am in 6th grade.Ive stayed out for six or 5 days. ( Throwing up, running nose, headache etc. ) Would the truancy officer STILL come to my house EVEN if I was sick? Please answer this because I've had a phobia of truancy officers for as long as I can remember and If they WONT come please tell me! Im freaking out.
