truancy
Truancy is any intentional unauthorized or illegal absence from compulsory education .
It is absences caused by students of their own free will, and usually
does not refer to legitimate "excused" absences, such as ones related to
medical conditions. Truancy is usually explicitly defined in the
school's handbook of policies and procedures Some children whose parents claim to homeschool have also been found truant in the United States. Another term for truancy is playing hooky. Attending school, but not going to class is skipping school.
Punishments imposed according to each country
Finland
In filand
truant pupils usually get detention in comprehensive schools. The
police are not involved in truancy control but the teachers of the
school monitor the school area and sometimes the nearby areas during
recess to avoid unauthorized absence. If the pupil is absent for a long
period of time the parents may be fined.The aim of fining is to try to force parents to put their children into
school. The child will not be escorted to school or taken from parents.
Denmark
In Denmark, some welfare benefits can be confiscated for a period if the child does not attend school. However, not all cities use this approach to keep the children in school. Most cities watch for families who have not returned their children to school after the summer vacation because some groups their children to their ethnic home countries for behavior modification . In the city of Aarhus , 155 children had not turned up one week after the school started. In April 2009, research among 4,000 students showed that more than every third student had been absent during the last 14 days.Germany
In Germany, the parents of a child absent from school without a legitimate excuse are notified by the school. If the parents refuse to send their child to school or are unable to control their child, local child services or social services officers may request the police to escort the child to school, and in extreme cases may petition a court to partially or completely remove child custody from the parents. Parents may also be fined in cases of refusal.England and Wales
In England and Wales , truancy is a criminal offence for parents. Since 1998, a police officer of or above the rank of superintendent may direct that for a specified time in a specified area a police officer may remove a child believed to be absent from a school without authority to that school or to another designated place. However this is not a power of arrest and it is not a power to detain, and does not make truancy a criminal offence.There is a warning given the first time the parents allow the child to commit truancy, but if they allow it more than once, then the parents are given a fine starting from £50.United States
In the United States, truancy regulations are generally enforced by school officials under the context of parental responsibility. New automated calling systems allow the automated notification of parents when a child is not marked present in the computer, and truancy records for many states are available for inspection online. In large schools where law enforcement officers are present, the fine for "playing hookey" can range from $250 to as much as $500. About 12,000 students were ticketed for truancy in 2008 in Los Angeles . Many states provide for the appointment of local truancy officers who have the authority to arrest habitually truant youths and bring them to their parents or to the school they are supposed to attend. Many states also have the power to revoke a student's driver's license or permit. Where it exists, a school truancy officer is often a constable or sheriff, concurrently. The position of a full-time truancy officer is generally viewed as being a relic from the 19th century when mandatory school attendance was relatively new.questions about the topic
