Truancy in school – individual responsibility
But it is still wrong to fee the parents especially
when dealing with the high school students.
In conclusion I would like to say that truancy is the students' own responsibility and
they should be completely responsible for their actions.

· It is the student's own responsibility
· It is more fair to punish the students not their parents but as they usually do
not have any income it could be some kind of community service
· The fees put on the families are too high
