truancy

They could be dragged into court for violation of truancy laws. I tried to suggest this was the stuff to look into.

I got picked up for truancy one time. Therefore in comparison I should get the death penalty.

In the eye's of my mother, the removal of my computer was the first step in rectifying my truancy.

> to stem the rampant truancy devastating the school's funding So truancy is a part of lack of funding? There's something wrong with that picture.

How do cameras prevent truancy better than taking attendance?

Very few have more than a cursory education and most dropped out of school as soon as they could stop getting truancy officers to stop sending them back. There's simply no reason to learn anything.

Let's take truancy and suspension as an example since it was mentioned in the story. Is suspension responsible for kids' later poor educational outcomes?

I could have that wrong, but it would make sense given that article specifically mentions truancy and underage drinking, two charges which seldom result in arrest. Maybe that makes the statistic a little less shocking to those surprised by the number?

Even if you were to concede that there is nothing wrong with the idea of taking someone's home for tax truancy, the question remains, why weren't the homeowners at least compensated for the value of their place less the value of the lien? Radio static on the other end.

I don't know the specifics of shift truancy, it's possible that management is making impossible demands- but OPD has a plummeting budget to work with, and has been flunking out of federal receivership for years. Leadership regularly gets booted for that offense.

But the problems here — a breakdown in families, an absence of respect for authority, the prevalence of drugs, drunkenness, truancy, vandalism and petty criminality — are common across Britain." > Bringing home her groceries recently, Jane Leach, a 46-year-old caregiver for the elderly, described a typical weekend evening on the small grassy area that serves as a park of sorts between two rows of houses on her street.

"The sworn officer would focus on helping local schools increase their safety and prevent student truancy and on working with the area's large businesses to improve their security" This really means harassing and arresting problem students and undesirables who are loitering near businesses. I say that because if you want to address the underlying issues and really "solve" the problem, you wouldn't do it with police. It sounds like they want their own private security but one that has police powers. What comes to mind is cities that try and fix issues related to the homeless with police because it's a complex human problem that some people & businesses try to solve with punishment/enforcement. At the least, I'll venture to say there's more effective ways to combat truancy than unleashing police on them.

It was a short article stating that the Oakland PD truancy rate was, I believe, 37%. So, a significant portion of Oakland PD don't show up for their shifts. Perhaps there is a legitimate reason for this. Unfortunately, every time I try to dig up this statistic, I just get results regarding student truancy efforts by Oakland PD. Also, in 2008, Oakland PD blew $15,000 on, I believe, Screamin' Eagle exhausts for their police Harleys.
