No, however, the qualifications for what constitutes illegal truancy should be limited, there should be a sizable increase in prevention and performance improvement programs as initial and secondary steps, and penalties should increase or decrease to fit the situation. For example, if a student has issues with their homelife, the school and government should collaborate to prevent truancy, improve the homelife environment through government-funded resources (family counseling), escalate to CPA services if needed, penalize parents who willfully do not pass the prescribed improvement programs, and/or penalize the student who willfully does not pass the prescribed improvement programs. However, penalties should remain focused on rehabilitation, with reasonable evidence that the penalty fits the situation and will promote improvement.
