I remember one time IHOP was giving free pancakes for a day, so me & this shorty went around noon. Shit was packed with HS kids & IHOP said the wait time would be about an hr to be seated. I noticed it was a school day so I causally stepped outside, flagged down the truancy van…

American School Districts “Have become unhinged”

Mother receives Truancy Letter threatening jail time even after sending in doctors notes for her disabled son

“My disabled son who was out for a week because of a double ear infection and double pink eye. He was on two different…

So I met Senator Karen Nyamu at an event at the Holy Family Basilica last evening and I teased her that she has been severally reported to me by moral puritans for truancy and unpalatable content. Then she goes 'who has reported me? For what? About what? I was like 'Relax…

Happy Mothers Day to this lady who is basically asking to get her children taken away!

She wants to do 'unschooling' because she was being threatened for truancy. What do you think that means? Her kid won't learn anything!

This isn't legal honey 🤣

Kamala Harris at an event hosted by the Commonwealth Club in 2010, explaining her decision as San Francisco DA to get tough on truancy.

Critics of truancy crackdowns say such efforts unfairly target poor parents and children without actually helping students.

1. More evidence of the life-long impact of school absence. The recommendations? Support for families; address long-term health issues. Both fine. And third? tackle truancy. Nothing about education reform. Nothing about SEN. Nothing about inclusion. tinyurl.com/mr3ve2nf🧵1/2

Fuck it, truancy ain't shit

1. DA Kamala Harris did not lock up any parent for truancy.
2. California had truancy laws that had the potential to lock up parents since the 70s
3. As AG she supported a bill that provided resources and services to truant parents in lieu of jail time.

Here's a video, I made.

never forget kamala harris passed a truancy law in CA that punished parents if their kids missed school with a criminal misdemeanor (a $2500+ fine or a YEAR in jail) which targeted poor Black/brown families

A big congratulations to Dr Gene Lim and my fellow co-authors for this new piece in Psychology & Sexuality, exploring the relationship between psychological distress, bullying and truancy among young LGBQ+ people. It’s free to read and download here: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Truancy Officers - real or imagined?
And if real did you ever run afoul of one while skipping school?

Nope. I want to go to school but SCPS Info says if other students wear masks it’ll change their learning environment😢SCPS said no to my ADA request & have started truancy proceedings. I can’t fight Ron DeSantis by myself. Sending an 🆘 to America for help🙏

In recognition of Employee Appreciation Week, we extend our gratitude to our Attendance Officers and Family Community Liaison for their efforts in tackling the persistent truancy challenges faced by some of our students.

Oh my god!! #Parentblame apportioned again. Why don’t you look at why children don’t want to/ can’t attend, as opposed to taking the easy way out and blaming parents! 🤬🤬🤬🤦‍♀️

Parents working from home blamed as school truancy a fifth higher on Fridays independent.co.uk/news/education…

Gave out our very first WhataWildcat Award to our truancy officers who go out of their way to help our students be successful in school!! We appreciate ALL you do!! Temple ISD Temple High School Wildcats Bobby Ott Lisa Adams Whataburger®

Why are teachers burned out example.

Teen logged in as parent to skip school last year.

Parent was “confused.”

Had the hour-long meeting the following Tuesday to “explain” the truancy to the parent.

Teen not in this meeting.

From the Telegraph.

The Education Secretary and rightwing media are all blaming Friday truancy on working from home.

Only trouble is, they haven’t provided any data to prove this.

I genuinely doubt that the most disadvantaged children’s parents are working from home at all.

I feel ashamed that there are not photos like this of the men of my generation & I think our historic truancy explains a lot about where we are today and why.

Yesterday’s session with the CISD Attendance Staff was truly remarkable! The CISD PEIMS team provided support to our campuses, ensuring precision in Attendance and Truancy prevention data. Proud to say, CISD has the best Attendance Staff! #AttendanceMatters #PEIMSCares

Why is this little brat allowed to get away with everything.

Truancy, blocking roads, anti social behaviour and now scaring jews.

Lock her up.
