John Kelland states:
"Catherine did not address my suggestion that school
ought to be responsive to the interests of students.
Is this a bad idea? Instead, she states that legal
action does not criminalize students, it merely
redirects them into "alternative schools" - seperate
but equal, all over again. If we are not literally
criminalizing students, we are essentially relegating
them to a second-class, "alternative" environment."
I suggest that the student and the parent/guardian also bear responsibility
in the truant situation and thus relegate themselves to the 'alternate'
learning environment.
