At best, he is in danger of not fulfilling his educational potential; at worst, he is in danger of cruelty or neglect.Enforced school absence in childhood is sometimes used by ad

2、ults to justify their own career failure. It is difficult for a child to play truant regularly if his parents are keen for him to attend school. Much truancy is openly condoned; as for the rest, not knowing that your children play truant is equivalent to not ensuring that they are at school. It shows lack of interest in their whereabouts, apathy about their education, or inability to control them i.e., ineffective parents. The characteristics which lead families to reject regular schooling are l

3、ikely to have other detrimental effects on the children besides educational failure. For what could make parents decide that the most widely agreed route to secure employment, social acceptance and personal satisfaction is not for them? The first reason is a general difficulty in dealing with family responsibilities, particularly in the stressful environment of modern cities. Getting the child to school on time is too much to cope with (alarm clock, breakfast, clothes, shoes, gym clothes, lunch

4、money). Secondly, the childs company may comfort a depressed, isolated mother.The schools insistence on uniforms or other obligations and, possibly, its undisguised disapproval of an inadequate family, may be the last straw. Children who grow up in such families are likely to be deprived in many ways besides education.In these families, education is written off as a waste of time. For a child growing up, this is possibly more serious than the loss of education. Habitual non-attendance can accust

5、om children very early in their lives to rejecting the values and legal requirements of society. It is a training in deviance and anti-social behaviour which can lay the foundation for a generally deviant career. The common progression from truancy or parentally-condoned absence to juvenile crime has been reliably established.In greatest danger of all is the child who successfully plays truant for long periods without his parents knowledge. His personal isolation and alienation, not just from co

6、nventional behaviour but from his own family, puts him in danger of delinquency, drugs or mental illness in later life. Truancy has been called the kindergarten of crime, and bad school attendance spells failure and possible unemployment in later life. It was soon realized that non-attendance was too complex and serious a problem to be dealt with by education departments alone. Much responsibility for school attendance was, therefore, transferred to social workers. This move has, on its own, how

7、ever, possibly created as many problems as it has solved. This is because the seriousness with which they regard non-attendance is an issue on which social workers and workers in education differ. Social workers tend to regard it as merely one symptom of social failure which, particularly if homelessness, physical neglect, marital problems and illness are present, does not justify more attention than the rest.Workers in education consider the other problems as all the more reason why the childre

8、n concerned should have the advantage of regular schooling. The longer they stay truant, the greater are their chances of getting into further trouble. One chief education welfare officer told me: The best form of social service you can do for deprived children is to see that they receive education in the normal school setting.I was given access to a few cases of nine-year-old children selected by their head teacher for causing concern due to problems arising outside school. I read their files a

9、nd talked to the workers involved about how each, from his professional point of view, saw the chain of events since the initial referral. In cases concerned with school absence, this method produced a commentary of the slow progression towards stalemate which can occur when two departments with different priorities are jointly responsible for solving the same problem. For how can a decisive plan for action ever be formed if it depends on the cooperation of two people who basically disagree?Non-attendance can so injure a childs life chances that it deserves to be tackled by a more single-minded attack than this. A concerted policy should focus on the following areas: first, the schools own capacity for holding the interest of pupils; second, its efficiency in registering unexplained absences; third, school-oriented social work; fourth, boarding schools; and
