Response to Amina's Blog- Truancy

I agree with Amina when she says it is too drastic to blame parents for their child’s truancy because she makes a valid point that sometimes parents do not know if their child truants. I remember seeing a TV programme where a girl’s mother faced prosecution for her truancy from school- even though the mother made sure her daughter went through the gate. Personally, I don't see why the mother of the child was prosecuted. I think it is wrong to punish the parents. I think Amina also made a really good point that if the parents face the blame then schools should have equal blame. I agree because, Isn't it their job to keep a child safe and in school as well? Overall, I feel Amina has covered this topic really well.
