School Attendance

"Students congregating in malls, fast-food restaurants and outside cinemas across the city this week told the Sunday Mail they regularly ditched school but had no fear of getting caught. And if they are, the threat of detention or their parents being contacted does little to deter them."
School is a routine and teaches the routines necessary for  a working life. If all people have to say is it's easy to wag, we don't like school...then we have a future workforce which is unemployable.  How useful will someone be if they are used to calling the shots, coming and going to work  as they please and are basically letting others do the productive work for them...and then claiming the financial rewards. Other countries will be clapping their hands with glee because their students are employable on an international market. If students are not at school then they need to accept what happens next. No one has the luxury of that choice without losing out financially. It's easy not to go to work too!!
