Spanish or not, can you imagine FORCING kids of that bulk into going to school.There are obviously parents who need a slap regarding lack of school attendance, but equally,there are kids beyond control. Their parents need help, not punishment. There have been cases in U.K. where helpless, hopeless parents have been jailed for the actions of rebellious children who simply WON’T go to school.

Look at the “alternative” from the kid’s view – go to school, work hard… graduate and do NOT get a job. OR, don’t bother with school, its hard work, don’t even look for a job and get better FREE benefits from the Gov’t than if you had a job. Their decision is SIMPLE. Politicians responsible for this largess are SIMPLE too, but get paid & golden pensions … anyway
