He noted that in the elite college that being absent or late will not have an affect on one's grades but in community college this is part of it. Meaning that basically the way poor people are trained is to be more like slaves. I experienced this. I remember I had an almost perfect grade in an art history class in community college but because I was often late I ended up with a B instead of an A. I thought it was BS then and now. Isn't learning the material the point? He talks about a bunch of other things as well but I find it interesting even in grade school they train children to be like robots in public school. In my child's school if you were absent (9 times) or late too many times (counts as an absent if added together) they threaten to investigate the parent or fine them $500. While I do think it's nice to be on time being a few minutes late shouldn't mean you are fired, fined or investigated. I do believe there is intentional programming for the lower and middle class that makes them be subservient and then become enforcers of this themselves when they grow up.
Edit: it's not an Amazon link not sure why the thumbnail is showing that . The book is Excellent Sheep.
I guess looking back I do remember truant officers in my highschool. I don't remember much about them. I was absent a ton! And spent a lot of days in Saturday school and zero hour. But for certain reasons one being I had a high GPA and lived on my own I think they never bothered me other than wanting me to make up time. Again though why if I had a high GPA did I need to sit in Saturday school doing nothing as a punishment or zero hour making up missing hours? How about your school didn't teach me anything and all I needed to do was read the book and take the test? The entire system is screwed, they get paid per day the kid is in school so it's about money. Basically you are earning money for the school sitting in a desk they don't care if you are learning or not. I didn't know that then but think about how messed up that is.

Thanks, I'll have to give it a read.
