It is OK if one sentence starts with a lowercase letter. they may be committing crimewhen the pupils put the cards in the machineare excluded for violence, criminal behaviourbut immediately creates many morestay in prison up to two monthswhich have had attendance problems in the past "Why aren't you at school?" This is a question that many British schoolchildren may hear at some point in their school careers, when they are "playing truant", "bunking off" or absent without permission. About one million children a year bunk off school. In primary schools the average time missed per absent pupil is over five days in the year. For secondary schools it is 10 days. Why is it such a problem? The evidence shows that truancy is linked to crime and failure at school. When children are out of school , and they certainly aren't learning. The government thinks that absenteeism is getting out of control in England, but what can they do to make sure children go to school? Some people think that the answer to this question is electronic registration: this is a chip in a card that the children have to swipe at the beginning of the school day. , the school headmaster can see immediately who is in the school and who is absent. Other schools resort to more extreme methods: when pupils don't turn up, they get expelled. Thousands of children in England and truancy. Of course, throwing children out of school solves one problem . Some teachers want corporal or physical punishment brought back into the classroom (it was banned in the 1970s), but the government doesn't agree. British parents can be even sent to prison for failing to make their children go to school. They may have to if they are found guilty. Probably the best way of improving attendance is to make school and the breaks between the lessons more interesting. Some schools have started lunchtime radio stations, sport, music and a breakfast club with morning TV and aerobics.
