1
00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:04,320
Speaker 1: Togever Do for z Ellen, Ministry of Education is going

2
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:06,960
Speaker 1: to start prosecuting parents of kids who aren't attending school.

3
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:10,119
Speaker 1: Prosecution will be considered for any student who misses fifteen

4
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:13,039
Speaker 1: days or more in a single school term, which frankly

5
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:16,520
Speaker 1: is a lot to miss. Vaughan quire is papatoy Toy's

6
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:20,040
Speaker 1: High high school's principle and with us now have on, Hey.

7
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 2: Here, they're welcome back. Hope everything's all right domestically.

8
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 3: Yes, it is, thank you, that's why obviously.

9
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 2: Oh of course it's the easier part.

10
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 3: Absolutely, Listen, tell me do you support this?

11
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:37,200
Speaker 2: In certain circumstances, something like a prosecution could be appropriate,

12
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 2: But it's all about the journey that gets you there.

13
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:42,240
Speaker 2: So certainly wouldn't be the first port of call because

14
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 2: it's not the way to build a meaningful learning relationship

15
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:49,239
Speaker 2: in terms of his a fiscal or other sort of penalty,

16
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:53,479
Speaker 2: But it could be appropriate and certain extreme circumstances.

17
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 3: Which extreme circumstances, well.

18
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 2: Mostly probably we're the grown up as at fault and

19
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 2: not the kid. So where you've got young children, where

20
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 2: the parents are refusing to engage in what is the

21
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:10,919
Speaker 2: lawful obligation to test send kids to school in any capacity.

22
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 2: Is it's probably appropriate where you've got a thirteen year

23
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 2: old where the parents are desperate to get the kids

24
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 2: to school, where they keep turning left and going to

25
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 2: the mall as opposed to right to the school, probably

26
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 2: not appropriate. That's more of a learning conversation. But yeah,

27
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 2: that's an example where maybe the parents of an eight

28
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 2: year old just refuse to engage with anybody or anything.

29
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 3: Do you and these people do exist? Do you have

30
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 3: some at your school?

31
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 2: No, I haven't hit anyone that extreme. We have got

32
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 2: some school refusing students, but where the grown ups are

33
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 2: actively engaged in trying to get their students to school,

34
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 2: so that there doesn't seem to be any advantage in

35
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 2: fiscally penalizing a parent who is actively trying to do

36
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 2: their best. It's where the student and the parent are

37
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 2: actively trying to avoid the system where a fis school

38
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 2: penalty could be could be advantageous. But those I have

39
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 2: you yet to stumble across one in my career.

40
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 1: Okay, Hey Vaughan, thank you very much, really appreciate your time.
