Reasons of and solutions to truancy Truancy is bad. It is bad for the Students(and their future), the Parents, the school and the community. Truancy has become a growing problem. There are many reasons why students play truant from school. Firstly, the biggest reason why students do not go to school is probably that they just do not like school. They do not care about going there. School is just a chore for them and they do not see the point in it. If school were made a little more interesting, then maybe there would be a little less truancy. Some truant students are even addicted to the joys of being truant. Some of them are just too tired to go to school or have something better to do

their reason for absence. After all, it is relatively common that when students take interest in a subject, it is highly unlikely they will deliberately miss a class. Regardless of classes being enjoyable to students, there are always some exceptions. For instance, the lack of motivation is quite a frequent occurrence among university students. This means that even though the chosen specialty might be agreeable to them, some still play truant. Mandatory classes create discipline and perhaps help the students that are in lack of stimulus to stay on track with schoolwork. It can be argued, however, that university students should be mature enough to keep their own heads above water and learn to oblige themselves to attend classes when necessary. What is more, some students are often ahead of others in certain subjects or sometimes learn better by themselves, so compulsory classes would be an inconvenience for them. What good does a
nothing about it even if they do want their child to study. The thing that parents need to do is to explain their children why is it important to attend the school and become an educated person and how education influences the life of the human being. But even if they fail to do that I think that it does not give the right to punish them. I think that in the UK the Education Act is too strict. According to the Guardian in November 2000 the maximum penalty for allowing a child to truant was raised from £1,000 to £2,500 and/or three months in prison. 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. Articles:
