there are many reasons why students play truant in their lives. evrybody in society should be responsible over this social problem. i would like to add few more points that I discovered from a book.

1. Poor parental supervision

• parents these days are just too busy with their career to earn a living for their families. kids are left by their own wondering around while parents are at work. children are well aware that their parents are busy at work that they have the guts to bunk off school and chill out with other truants.

2. School atmosphere

• it is obvious that there are many students in a school. therefore, this leads to a noisy environment. there are some students who cant agree to this environment while studying..which eventually leads them to play truant. they rather be at home studying for a better concentration.

3. Lack of attention

• some classes are just over-crowded with students probably because the school lack of classes. in each classes, there are students who need personal attention and expects the teachers to offer such attention. but this is quite impossible for a class with many students. hence, these students make their own decisions to stay back home and get their parents to teach them.
