Although I believe that education is essential in a persons life, I do not believe that children or parents should be punished for not attending school. Of course, there are exigent circumstances in which either should or could be punished, for example: missing school to do any sort of criminal activity, or missing school due to a parent being abusive (the parent should be punished and not the child). I believe that instead of penalizing the children, the government and school should understand why the child is missing so much school and try to help.
