House Bill 2398: Unexcused Offences Case Study

Northside Independent School District in San Antonio doesn't think putting the tracking devices is a big deal. Are the students going to school to learn or just to get tracked by their school staff? [n]ISD is a school district and not a government (Hernandez 7). Northside shouldn't worry if their students made it home, they are teachers, principals, etc and not the students parents. If all students go to school, that will raise the state funding up to $1.7 million. Northside and other school even got to the point where a sophomore girl that didn't want to wear her tracking ID because she felt it was an invasion of her privacy, won't be able to get in the schools cafeteria, extracurricular activities, the library and even maybe not be able to get elected homecoming queen, did it really come to that? Schools are literally tracking the students like as if they're tracking cattle.

Truancy is any unauthorized and intentional or illegal absence from mandatory education. Students being absent from primary schools or institutions providing compulsory education at their free will without any reference to legitimate reasons for absence like medical conditions is the phenomenon of truancy. Students who attend school but not classes are also subject to be charged with truancy. It is prevalent in both UAE and UK, though explicitly defined in policies and procedural handbooks of almost every school across the countries.

The U.S. House of Representative Bill 610 is sponsored by Representative Steve King and the House committee is Education and the Workforce. This bill was put into place for “distributing Federal funds for elementary and secondary education in the form of vouchers for eligible students and to repeal a certain rule relating to nutrition standards in schools” (Smith.) The significance behind putting this bill into place is to provide a “better” way of education an to get rid of the “waste” we “currently” have in our eduational system. The U.S. House of Representatives should not pass Bill 610 because it detroys many basic American rights set in the Constitution, cuts all “special” classes and other educational funding, and cuts free/reduced lunches

The first reasoning why we should not enforce this law is because it could cause more tardies and absentense. If we do enforce this law in Wyoming it can be a problem because if the student parents or friend cannot pick them up and take them to school and they have no other way to get to school they could be tardy or abesent for their classes or schooling. Another reason if we so enforce this law with students and thay foget something important and it is before class they could be tardy for their class because they need that certain thing for their class.

Student absenteeism causes lost of the precious time devoted to education. Moreover, some of the children who typically stay away from school, display unsuitable and aggressive behaviors in the society. It is therefore crystal clear that any sort of unauthorized attendance is a huge matter

I was so surprised to hear about this law, and that more than 1000 students were sent to truancy courts. Even more surprising is that these children actually end up in jail because they can’t pay the fines. To me this is outrageous! I’m sure the law meant well in trying to encourage children to stay in school. I feel that young adults have far more responsibilities, like you mentioned, some may work to help provide for their families. By placing them in jail it is hurting them more. It was wonderful to listen to Nate Bailes of juvenile justice strategy group explains that when teens are found truant are arrested because they are violating court orders. By putting them in jail they are being kept away from school. The system is criminalizing

It is very fair for a school to discourage poor attendance, which is why this idea is not completely radical. It is well proven that class attendance significantly increases a student’s likelihood to succeed. In fact, the University of Minnesota at Mankato wrote an article on their school website concerning student performance in relation to attendance, and it was statistically significant that attendance explained the overall performance of students. Students who frequently missed class almost always increased their odds of a poor grade in a given course (“Class Attendance”).

My choice to pass this law is positive, for I believe that young adults can accomplish more for a better future. Right now in their young age, education is their most important job. Their curfew could pave a way for minors to finish their homework, which can result to better grades. If they spend their nights out, this would ultimately cause a distraction.

Students, like all humans, are not invincible. They get sick, injured, and are affected by their environment. When a student is held to a standard that they should only have 12 total absences, they become afraid of staying home from school in fear of missing important lessons in class. This could impact their concentration in school, and can worsen their grades by attending school without being fully focused on their topics of learning. For example, when a student comes down with the flu but they do not want to tarnish their perfect attendance record, they will go to school and risk infecting those around them, which can be detrimental to someone with an autoimmune disorder. Students who get concussions should not be expected to be able

This bill is necessary because schools have remained unchanged since many generations past, despite how people in the present doesn’t think the ways that were taught in the past applies the same way to now. In a conversation with Ken Robinson, he had quoted that, “You know, for my generation—I was born in 1950—we were told that if you worked hard, went to college, and got a regular academic degree, you'd be set for life. Well, nobody thinks that's true anymore, and yet we keep running our school systems as though it were. So many people have degrees now

Having a strict rule like this will definitely show the student why class is so important. Students who miss or skip out on class actually miss more than they think like for example one day the teacher might go over the next test or maybe just sit there for an hour you never know that why its so important to go to class. Parents would most likely agree because they're the ones paying for most if not all of their schooling and believe that students should be punished for not going to class.

Students skipping class in no longer a rare phenomenon. After their research, Balfanz and Byrnes (2012) finds that approximately from 5 to 7.5 million students out of about 50 million who enrolled in the US public schools do not attend classes regularly. In order to stem the tide of students skipping class, teachers and school have included punishments for classroom absence in school regulations although the total effectiveness of this method is still under debate. As a teacher, I strongly believe that penalizing students who skip class will help reduce absenteeism because of the following reasons.

This seems almost idiotic that the school system allows this, when the rest of America has to go to school or we have can cause our parents to get in legal trouble. Sara Ipatenco states, “It 's against the law to let your child skip school and just stay home, and parents can face criminal charges even if they don 't know their child is skipping school.(Ipatenco).” Sara also states Children who are truant and have parents who don 't require them to attend school are at a higher risk for substance abuse, gang activity and criminal behavior, according to the National Center for Mental Health Promotion and Youth Violence Prevention. As adults, children who didn 't attend school regularly are more likely to have health problems, experience mental health disorders and be

There is no real history behind the problem. However, we do know that the issue has been present since Held harmless has been available. The issue originated when the attendance rate of schools were plummeting. Kids continued to skip school which ultimately hurts the school and themselves. The same kids that skipped a lot of days were the same kids that were struggling on final exams. Schools realized they needed to jump to action, so they discovered Held harmless, a way to recover school attendance and a way for kids to exempt final exams from their report card. According to the Missouri Department, “A student is counted only for the period of time that he/she is in actual attendance at school.” Attendance is a big deal in the school system which is why Held harmless was created. Negative effects can vary on a large scale. It can include affecting kids with braces because they have to schedule appointments for after school which can interfere with after school sports. If a kid is sick, they normally will feel like they absolutely have to come to school which puts other kids at getting ill. Another negative effect is kids having to carry around the guilt of missing a family member’s funeral to save their Held harmless. However, athletes that have been injured
