15-Year-Old from Germany Jailed for Skipping School. Isn't that crazy?  

yes, probably she doesn't want to be in school.

hell yeah!

I've experienced skiver kids. they're stupid, they aren't even skipping school because they don't like it.

but still she's skipping school now for sure lol, she should just be made to go to EXTRA SCHOOL!!

smart..

Someone in the US is 'bad' in school. They start a fight, bring a knife to school to show his buddies, acts up, etc... and what happens?

They get EXPELLED. NO MORE SCHOOL FOR YOU!!!

What the heck is that? I understand detention, but kicking someone OUT of school for not wanting to be there in the first place?

That's right.

Its certainly not the parents fault, and it shouldnt be such a big deal. But to go as far as "court" with this... Its simply rediculous. But if thats the law, then thats the law.

I had a friend, with a ddaughter was ddoing the same thing, she was already going to therapist.

At first, he was going to work, after he work her up for school. SHe rolled over went to sleep.

Then he worked from home, got her up, made sure she got dressed and out to the bus stop, then he went to work. Found out as soon as he left, she walked away from the bus stop.

He then drove her to school. He watched her go in the school. She walked in one door and out the other.


After htis the therapist suggested tough love, strip her room, give her a mattress, no sheets, a pillow, no pillowcase and a blanket. She was allowed out of the room for school and the bathroom.

If she went to schooland stayyed for 1 day she got sheets, she wnet to school for 2 more days, she got a chair, for 2 more days, she got a light, 2 more days she got a desk.

If she went to school for 1 solid week after that she earned 1 hour of TV time a day.

If she back slid she lost her priviledges. She knew what she had to do to get each item.

He drove her to school for 2 weeks, before she stayed in for 1 day. the next day she cut....do you get the picture.

This man did everything he could.

How could you punish him any more, believe me, he as a good father, he was so upset, everyday at wokr I heard about her antics.

DId I mention that as she walked through the school, she would get some drugs fromher friends to use on the 4 mile walk home?

This is what I was thinking....nothing good for this girl

In England they have discussed the parents going to prison but I'm not sure if it's enforced yet, luckily my boys are not old enough to skip school yet...

I agree with you.For a kid,is it helpful for her to put her in prison?
of course not.
If that's useful and helpful,many kids in China will be put into prison.Now in the countryside,many kids can't go to school because their parents have no money.therefore,how should the Chinesed government do ?

this is first time I heard about someone going to jail for missing school.

I think in Germany is mandatory to finish high school.

Oh my God! I believed it happened in a special "close-german" city in your country.
I am sorry but it is a stupidness, do not belive this! LOL It can not happen in Europe!

We don't have "closed German city" in america.
Görlitz is a small an lovely city in Germany whose origins go back to 1017. It is located approximately 200 km south of Berlin, it lies at the border with Poland and very close to Prague.

I know the german city it is correctly Görlitz. (There is a factory which I transported from.) But I do not understand how can you belive this stupidness. I wonder where have you heard it...

It was all over Internet. Look in Dresden news.

this article is from a southern african news site! Do not belive everything you hear or read from the media. I can belive it if I read it on a german site.
Anyway congratulation, you received lots of comments for this news. This how media works too.

First:
I don't read South African news.
Second:
I do read Reuters and Scotsman news and they have really good reputation.
call London: Tel: 0207 961 0200 and talk directly to media people.
Last:
Stop this insult.

agree...however if someone is good student, wouldn't matter..

she should take community service...

school is not always funn...

i didn't say i didn't have fun...I said i was bored with all the teachings

I agree with "teen morans" in USA...

i also agree with the "teen morons" comment, personally all stupid ppl should either grow some brains, or get drafted into the military.

umm...if you draft all of the stupid people into the military, doesn't that mean that you'd be giving the stupid people guns?

yes, silly punishment
