介绍:
Dare to play truant? Your parents would be fined! The State of Wisconsin Assembly has just approved a bill requiring children of parents who receive benefits through state work programs to attend school regularly.
If not, the parents would be fined 50 US dollars a month with five or more unexcused absences of their child in one semester.
Republican representative Joe Sanfellipo, who has sponsored the bill, said the goal was to keep children in school.
The Wisconsin Assembly passed the bill on Wednesday. It still needs approval from senate before the governor signs it into law.
Talking points:
1. Who is the bill targeting? Is it fair? What about kids whose parents do not receive state benefits?
2. Will it work?
