They probably never heard the term "truant officer" before either......
LMAO!!!!!! I do went to school in the 50s and 60s had one old man as truant officer he would find you no matter were you went. A bunch of us boys found a pretty big cave and thought it was a great place to hide as a river flowed just outside so we could fish, 2 or 3 of us skipped one day and was hid in the cave the old bastid walked out of the back of the cave and grabbed us.....
Also one company I worked for had one if you called in sick you had better have been home or the Dr office cause he would come and check on you this in the 70s the company was Dutch owned but here in the US..
Ok thanks after readin g the thread I had to look at my calendar to make sure it wasn’t 1913 I was living in instead of 2013. Thanks for the reassurance that it’s not only me seeing the obvious here.
