    Truancy penalties have sadly been a thing in the UK for a fair few years now. It's a really idiotic system. Some schools refuse to implement it in practice, but it is effectively mandatory (and has achieved nothing).

    As someone who lived a povertous upbringing and had a ~20% absence rate in school, this would've absolutely destroyed me and my family if it had been in effect then.
