Truancy, punish parents

I think they should be punished only if they know that their children aren't attending school. Now if the parent has no knowledge of this truant child, no I don't believe the parent should be held accountable.
If the parent is fully aware of it and does nothing then yes but otherwise no.
Of course. I remember when my friend was missing a lot of school, the school sent his mom a letter saying that if he miss's anymore days of school, she & him will be referred to the police attendance review board. That was enough for her to make sure he was at that school every day.
Had she not been held accountable, it probably would have been going on more frequently and he probably would have not graduated.

I've already vowed that one day my mates and I are going to go to Chik-Fil-A and just completely skip one day in high school. That's not my parent's fault, they don't even know.
One day isnt going to get label you as a truant.
No they shouldn't. I worked as a student teacher, and there was one certain student in my class who rarely ever turned up. His mother did everything she could to get him to go to school--She would drive him to school and even walk him to class. But as soon as she left, he'd be gone. I don't blame her at all, as it must have been a huge struggle especially for a working parent. Sometimes kids just don't want to learn, and you can't impose punishment on their parents for their misgivings.
