This being an almost all-white town, I suspect there’s a virulent bug circulating. No way the parents go along with their kids playing hooky. Then again, maybe there’s a bit of coronavirus worry going on.
Are you kidding...My grandson goes to XXXXXXXXX in NYS. Said 75% of his class are Asian. My daughter told him to stay home if he thought it would be best. They’re not stupid. It’s not hooky...It’s thinking what might be best.
The parents are at work. They don't know what their high school age kids are doing.
Having once been a white kid, I suspect you are wrong............
