What do you suggest that the repeat offenders of skipping school get then? A good talking to? The 18 year old kid in the video with the purple shirt was given SEVERAL warnings before about skipping school and apparently said F_U to the teachers, school or whatever, but now has a 3 day sentence in jail. Good for him, maybe he will THINK TWICE before skipping school next time. I never skipped school when I was that age, so neither should they. Bottom line.

It was common for citizens of my parents generation ( born 1913) to leave school at the age of 14. Several of my parents’ friends and my father’s two sisters left school at this age. **ALL** went on to live highly productive middle class lives.
My parents, grandparents, and great grandparents would be appalled that an 18, 17, or even a 14 year old would be forced by the state to attend school when they had no desire to be there.
