So I was going to school friday. I woke up late so I was an hr late for school. I was right at the school gate when a police picked me up for truancy. Keep in mind I was right at the bloody gate!!!. The cop drove me an hr from where my school was to the truancy center where I sat for 3 hrs!!! I made it in time for 4th period!!! (im on block scheduling so there is only 4 periods). To my shock and dismay the truancy center is runned by the school system!!
The school system cant afford to pay teachers and cant afford new books but they sure as hell can afford to pay cops to pick up kids who are not doing anything wrong.
I can understand if I was doing something wrong but I was going to freaking school and half the kids there were not doing anything wrong when they were picked up they were just hanging out.
Also I am 16 years old. If I am old enough to drop out now. Technically im going to school on my own free will so why do they have a right to do this???
