Studentsl, Parents and Laws

Being someone who went to a boarding school from the age of 7 to just 19, I can never wrap my mind around day schoolers, day school is a very foreign concept to me. Hearing of truants, worried parents, undisciplined pupils seem very prevalent in day schools.

Apparently, the UK government has decided that parents of truants will be penalised if their suspended kids are found wandering all over the place, on the other hand the government is trying to get parents into work. So, what happens if a working parent has a kid who has been suspended from school, does the parent take time off work to stay at home with the kid?
