Do too many absenses from school have a punishment?

You can be (I guess it depends on what country you are from). Over here if you have too poor an attendance record without proper justification, you can fail the year and even be expelled from the school. If you have proper excuses and are still able to pass your course, then you will not be punished. You can’t be punished for being sick :).

yes…I missed about 70 days my jr year, and had a court hearing. your parents can also get in trouble for it.

Uhhh yeah actually. The school will send home letters to your parents and then phonecalls home to your parents, and the next thing you know you’ll be in court in front of a judge trying to explain what’s going on. I’ve had it happen to me before in the 8th grad I missed like 26 days in a row but I was back in school before I had to go to a judge.

Yes and don’t be a whining victim ! - actions come with consequences !

I think if you miss too much school, they can get the school police on you and your parents can get in trouble. I’m not sure how many days you can miss before that though.

Yes and No because it depends on the area you live in example: I live in a town where they are strick about education I missed about 150days out of the school year and I got put on PINS and almost got taken out my house! whereas my cusin missed about the same amount of days but lives in brooklyn where there are many people to keep track of got nothing but a “slap on the wrist” as my mom would say
