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.
