Did it work? Truancy policy
"I was a truant. As an academic child, I skipped the classes that I found pointless: namely Technology, "Dance", "Personal education" and PE."

- Are you a fat maths teacher?
"Anyone who's walked round a town centre or shopping mall in school hours knows that truancy is rife. Schools are only too glad when certain pupils fail to arrive. Parents ( in many cases single parents) don't care about eduction and often condone or even encourage truancy. Imprisonment does nothing except increase taxes for the law-abiding - the answer, is to remove benefits from truants' parents and stop paying them to produce kids they can't be bothered with."

- I can picture Jan foaming at the mouth as they typed this. Ten out of ten to Jan though from going from 0 to insanity in less that 5 seconds. Is there really a government department that pays people to have children? I think we should be told.
"The trouble is, the children have more rights, you can't do this to be, you can't do that and so on. OK protect children by all means, but this is getting stupid!Allow teachers to smack a child, allow teachers to make then do extra work, get some discipline back in the classrooms and if they truant, make them do community work!The blame for this also lies with the parents as they can't be bothered half the time either, but jailing them does not work either!!!"

- So...in order to encourage the small percentage of children that don't attend school, AJ suggests the application of violence. Hmmm, it might work. Shame these kids have got all those bloody rights that protect them against casual brutality at the hands of adults.
"How should truancy be tackled? Is jailing parents the best solution? I cant say how truancy should be tackled. My children never did play truant. I suppose the ones that do play truant, will be the future Unemployed. These seems to get everything given for them, and excused all responsibility. So perhaps not playing truant has done my children no favours, as they will work, to support the unemployable."

- Damned if you do, damned if you don't eh Bert? Perhaps your children could ask if their taxes could be be spent on much nicer, middle-class things rather than supporting those less fortunate?
