Education Ministry officials Plan to throw book at truants' parents ... Moves being considered include more prosecutions, stiffer fines and ... giving judges powers to make erring people sit parenting skills courses to address problems such as anger management, drug and alcohol abuse, and budgeting ... really?
Yep, nothing to do with the problem (truanting) largely relating to secondary students, comprehensive trade training no longer being available in schools and raising the leaving age to sixteen (and possibly soon to seventeen).
What is it that gives professionals the feeling that it is their right to impose on others in such a grand manner given that their intent is so far outside their mandate - which one would imagine to be the education of children?
