Student thoughts on parents being arrested for kids skipping school:
Laws are inconsistent.
What happens to the kid while their parents are in jail?
You can't just skip work when you're grown up and not get fired.
Truancy laws already work.  Kids who've gone through truancy court/school don't miss school now unless they're really sick.
It's the children who are skipping school who should experience the consequences.
The school should start to make school more fun.
The kids should just suck it up and go!
This is my education; it is my job.
Parents shouldn't have to pay for your stupid mistakes.
Some parents have to leave for work even before their kids start school.
I think [skipping school] is dumb even though I did it before in the past.  I stopped after I got caught by a cop. That was scary.
