Truancy er forsettlig, uberettiget, uautorisert eller ulovlig fravær fra obligatorisk utdanning. Fraværet skyldes studenter av egen fri vilje og gjelder ikke unnskyldte fravær. I USA reguleres truancy-lover av lokale skoledistrikter og varierer mye i USA. Straff inkluderer bøter eller fengsel for foreldre eller barn. I 2019 innførte presidentkandidatene Elizabeth Warren og Beto O’Rourke planer som ville kreve at regjeringen avkriminaliserer truancy på føderalt nivå.

What do you think would make a student feel like staying in school is worth it, especially for those who don't always show up?
@ISIDEWITH2 uker2W
How would you feel if the government decriminalized truancy, making it non-punishable by law?
@ISIDEWITH2 uker2W
Do truancy laws actually help students, or do they just make things harder for those already struggling?
@ISIDEWITH2 uker2W
Have you ever known someone who struggled with attending school, and did they ever tell you why?
@ISIDEWITH2 uker2W
If a student skips school, do you think they should be punished or rather helped to figure out why they're skipping?
@ISIDEWITH2 uker2W
Do you think missing school regularly can lead to long-term problems, or can students still succeed without perfect attendance?
@ISIDEWITH2 uker2W
Is there a way schools could be more engaging to prevent students from wanting to miss class?
@ISIDEWITH2 uker2W
Should parents be punished for their children's truancy, or is that unfair to parents facing difficult circumstances?
@ISIDEWITH2 uker2W
Hva tror du motiverer noen elever til å skulke skolen, selv om de vet at det er imot reglene?
@ISIDEWITH2 uker2W
Har du noen gang følt at skolen ikke var en prioritet for deg, og i så fall, hvorfor?
