Truancy in school – individual responsibility
In Estonia the law is more loyal, the
penalty is not so harsh. For example parents are not sent to prison and the amount of
money they have to pay is smaller. 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.
