Truancy On The Rise
The Issue
Parents and teachers alike have expressed concern to the --Neo-America-- Board of Education that truancy in schools is reaching alarmingly high levels, claiming that it's to blame for rising vandalism rates.
The Debate
1. "The truancy situation is just getting worse and worse," says Pip Love, the chair of a local PTA group. "We've got children in our schools who turn up for maybe a couple of classes a week. It's getting ridiculous! They can't learn if they don't turn up. The government must introduce some sort of special truancy patrol in the police force. Controlled by us, of course."
[Accept]
2. "WHAT KIND OF WORTHLESS IDEA IS THAT?!" bellows General Jennifer Barry, the Head of the --Neo-America-- Military Academy, while turning a brilliant beetroot-red. "What these troublesome brats need is a good term in military school. I'll straighten 'em up, alright. NOW DROP AND GIVE ME FIFTY!"
[Accept]
3. "I really don't see what the problem is," says student Pip Falopian, smoking an odd smelling substance. "I mean, so what if I only go to school three to four days a month? It means I'm able to work full-time, which probably benefits the economy or... yeah, something like that. The government should just back off, man."
