I’ve said time and time again one of the biggest and newest issues with kid’s schooling these days is truancy. And this doesn’t apply to just school. If you have a defiant kid who is willing to go “dead weight” and flop on the ground to where some adult has to literally drag them to something, they can almost get out of everything

Think school staff will drag them to school? Nope. Think EMT’s will drag them to the hospital? Nope. Think cops will drag them to anything? Nope, not unless they have just committed a crime

Kids have learned they can literally beat the entire system through pure defiance, because no public entity wants to deal with the liability of grabbing a resisting kid

And thus, kids missing weeks upon weeks of school has now become borderline commonplace. And schools will just push them through the grades anyway……

It's a clown world. You didn't even mention the part where 80% of what they're taught is propaganda or shit they'll never use in life.
