The Three Main Reasons Teenagers Skip School:
When students skip school, it’s probably not to play video games or go to the library. Moreover, your child probably didn’t skip school because they are victims of bullying.
If your child’s reason is not sex, drugs, or alcohol, be VERY skeptical of their excuse.
Brutal Truth.

“The secret in education lies in respecting the student.” -Ralph Waldo Emerson
Respect the student by showing up totally prepared. Respect the student by welcoming questions you can’t answer.
Respect the student by expecting their very best. Respect the student by demanding their very best.
Respect the student by NOT honoring their excuses.
Respect the student with your language and your tone.
Respect the student by dressing like your craft matters.
Respect the student and most of the time, the student will respect you. Sometimes they won’t, but that’s why they are students.

“Teaching is the greatest act of optimism.” -Colleen Wilcox
If you believe in someone, teach them something. Teach them something truly valuable.
Teach them something that will make them successful.
Teach them something that will liberate them from any cage – figuratively, literally, or self imposed.
Teach them something that will keep them out of prison and protect their children from poverty.
Teach them something that will give them full control over the wolf that sleeps within them.
If you believe in someone, teach them something that is timeless.
That “something” is DISCIPLINE.
