This has nothing to do with corruption. It’s that no state has proper truancy laws that have widespread support.
You can’t educate kids if they don’t show up to class.
- ghaff 6y agoWhat would proper truancy laws look like? Taking kids away from parents? Jailing parents as well? At some point I'm pretty sure that a sufficiently draconian "cure" is worse than the disease.
- nojito 6y agoThere’s no good solution. If you punish the schools that will lead to closures and overcrowding. If you punish parents, that leads to CPS involvement and increased homelessness.
