AdelaideNow... 5000 wagging school: "One 10-year-old interviewed at a city skate park on North Tce early on Wednesday afternoon last week said he regularly missed school."
And who cares? What is being done about it? It's a parental thing. My kids were at school because it was my expectation. I valued their education and I expected they'd be there. 5000 not going to school? How much does this state care about education? Why pay teachers?? 28% absentee rate in some schools. How on earth are we going to be competitive and how is this cost effective. It's about our priorities. I think of my little sponsored child in Tanzania who has been so desperate to get to school so that he has a future.
