    Truant method(Truancy Law)Since the1853Years of legislation in USA, has been nearly two hundred years of history. In recent years, due to increasing number of students China beauty, in addition to USA local laws, do not understand the culture, there have been many cases of repatriation American immigration phenomenon. In American studying for seven years, and engaged in American industry nearly seven years of I, this is the first time to contact the real case of returned students. In view of this situation, I have studied several States to America truant(Truant)The provisions of the law, hope my hard study, can give us these bones love truancy Chinese children with warning function; and help us Chinese students to adapt to the American learning and life.

On the America StatesTruancy LawIn fact, is mainly in the6-16The age of students, also is the compulsory education of primary school, junior middle school to high school children. Each state to have "chronic truancy truant" "habitual truancy" classification; and each state in the long run several class terms are different. For example, as in Massachusetts, the law6A month can not be without skipping over7Days, or14Half of the day, such as more than is in violation of the law school. In Florida, the law90Days such as accumulated15Unexcused truancy is a violation of the law of the state school.

In view of these violations of truancy law students, students not only by the court's punishment, parents may also be implicated. For example, in the state of Florida(Florida)Every student, without skipping a (proof of illness should be issued by the hospital), will be fined2Yuan Meijin, do25Hours of community service. If the second violation of law students, each class A, fine5Dollars, plus50Hours of community service. In addition, committing truancy law students, will be reported to the Department of motor vehicles road safety and government, such as the students have a driver's license or temporary learner's permit(learning permit)The driver's license will be revoked.

So for these international students, if the violation of law not only to play truant and local residents to be punished, serious person the school will take the attendance to notify the immigration, immigration can do is send you back. But the vast majority of the schools are not possible when you first violation of immigration law school bulletin, the first practice of school is to warn you, but if you break the law, can only be repatriated.

If more than16Years old, you will violate the truant method?

Aiming at the University of reading students (including the United States holdF1In EnglishESLStudents), you have not been "limits the truancy law", but if the students often play truant, the school will take attendance you report to immigration, immigration will immediately help schools sending you back to home country.

So many students will be asked in the high school with fewer students, the teacher to tell at a glance that you whether attendance, so in the University, so many students, the teacher how to know your attendance status?

Teng advisors tell you, if you receive a letter from the professor, the letter which said "I hope you canDrop-off"When this class, this is the" repatriation "precursor. Then the professor and discover how did you attend? In most cases the professor will call, may sometimes students too much (more than 100), he only a part named; secondly, there will be random test American class, you didn't detect, naturally regarded as absent; the most serious is usually fixed quiz(quiz)Or the senior high school entrance examination(mid-tern)You are not participating, so it's enough to make sure you absent professor. No class nature does not follow to go up, of course, the professor will please you automaticallyDropCurriculum. And asF1International student you,In America must meet at least one semester12Credits(full time student)Prerequisite,DropA class may have less3-4Credits, there may not be up to12Credits. This will be notified to the international student office, if you feel indifferent, not to the international student office communication, then the school will notify the Immigration Bureau, the result is to be deported.

Finally, Teng adviser to students here some suggestions: 

American is a legal society, we should USA reading, we must understand and comply with local laws and ordinances.OrientationMust attend, you will learn a lot in the university requirements and matters needing attention. In fact you have experienced after the University, it is not difficult to find, as long as you come to class on time, do your homework, getAverage BIs a very easy thing. I often and students say "takeAHard, takeFMore difficult". If you really "accidentally" play back, sleep in class is taught or international office warns you, please you admit mistakes immediately, accept the punishment, and to communicate with the school, most schools will give you a chance to remedy. If there is a chance, will you cherish.
