Truancy Hypocrisy

The hypocrisy of truancy:

Today one of my students was walking to school late and was picked up outside the building by a truancy officer during 2nd period. When a student is picked up by an officer, the kid then has to spend time filling out paperwork, phone calls are made home, etc. It's a whole long process. Today, this process resulted in the kid missing 3rd period (my class) and 4th period class.

Moral of the story: Get in trouble for cutting school and you will miss more school.

No wonder we have an attendance problem in our building...
