In many countries, truancy is a worrying problem for both parents and educators. What are the causes of truancy, and what may be the effects on the child and the wider community?

An unexcused chronic absence from school is called truancy. It has become a matter of grave concern. Many factors add pain to the issue, and it impacts children and the community adversely. 

To start with, there are plenty of reasons behind this trouble. The primary factor is that truancy occurs when the child shows no interest in education and feels isolated from the school society. In brief, such pupils have their mindset toward modern culture, and they consider school staff and friends as their enemies. Hence, this thinking leads to chronic absenteeism. The secondary cause is that truancy is seen among learners who lack confidence in their mental capabilities. High truancy rates are seen in schools that have antagonistic relationships between staff and students and a poor attendance policy. 

Truancy affects a student profoundly. Being absent from the school nose-dives a candidate's ability to grasp novel information. Therefore, it would be laborious work to catch the ongoing syllabus, owing to which the overall result will plunge. Moreover,     truant teens are more likely to get entangled in criminal activities such as vandalism or shoplifting. Furthermore, truancy forces children to engage in substance abuse like the risk of getting opium and marijuana. 

Truancy creates problems beyond high school. Society faces a plethora of concerns because these people have nothing to do with their lives. They lack the opportunity to go to college because of poor grades in school, and they have to take part in lower-salary jobs. Finally, society also suffers when truant people take part in adult criminality and incarceration in the later period. 

To conclude, the news about truancy is getting pace in contemporary days, and it is happening due to continuous absence from school. It hurts individuals and society deeply since the traunts take part in problematic activities.

Part - 3 - All Cue Cards

Part 3 belongs to all new cue cards from September to December 2022. We have written the answers on our own except for one topic. Hence, we hold the copyright status of the answers written by us. 1.  Describe an object you find particularly beautiful (For example, a painting, sculpture, piece of jewellery/furniture, etc.). 1. Do   you   think   there   are   more   beautiful   things   now   than  in  the   past? In my opinion, traditional art and sculptures are much more captivating. I think in the past, it was easier for artists to find shoppers in the form of kings and nobles and they could focus on their art without any financial worries. However, today it is much harder to earn money as an artist. The art being made today also reflects that – it is done more as a hobby rather than as a profession and the works produced are far behind those of the past. Moreover, nowadays artists rely on machine work instead of handmad...

  Fast Food and Break Fast What do you have for breakfast? I prefer to have my favourite food items during the first meal of the day. Usually, I like wheat bread with freshly cooked vegetables like Okra, Turnip, beans and cauliflower. Along with this, I love to take a cup of tea. However, during weekends, my mother cooks stuffed bread for me, and amongst all these bread types, my favourite one is potato-filled bread with curd and homemade butter.  Do you eat fast food? Yes, I do, but once a fortnight, I prefer to have it. It is owing to the bad cholesterols present in junk food materials. In this category, I find cheese burst pizza, garlic bread and white sauce Italian pasta mouth-watering.  What are the different kinds of fast food in your country? Name them. India has an ocean of fast food materials. For instance, Chinese, Italian and American fast materials are the most popular ones in India. Moreover, we have traditional fast foods as well.  The first one is a sa...

  CHALLENGES What subject do you think is the most challenging at school? I believe history is one of the most challenging subjects at schools since it is an uphill task for many school-goers to remember historical events and their dates. I still remember not being able to grab proper information about ancient history and the significance of historical monuments.  Do you like to challenge yourself? Yes, I love to challenge myself, which motivates me to accomplish my task with full enthusiasm and concentration. Moreover, it allows exploring more and encourages us to try beyond the limit.  Do you like to live a life that has a lot of challenges? Yes, I like a life having various challenges since it is the best way to come out of my comfort zone and face the difficulties in life. Moreover, we have to work hard to overcome challenges owing to the fact we can get the desired target.  Challenges help us discover new skills, jump into new experiences, and boost our well-bei...
