I actually wouldn't be surprised if they tried something like this in the US. Absenteeism has been pretty bad since COVID and I'm sure they'd love something this punitive to the poor to try and "solve" the problem

Eh, half of the US government’s goal for decades has been to fully dismantle the public education system so I don’t think they really care about encouraging attendance. They want it to be low.

But have you considered that they also hate the poor

[–] [email protected] 18 points 4 months ago

Fair point. I actually really wouldn’t be surprised to see that in places like California and New York.

in the US they just jump straight to cops and prosecution. though I don't know if its this strict most places

Where I work, if a kid shows up every once in a while it's enough to keep CPS away
