Students Could Cost Parents Home

In Sarasota, skipping school is a habit that many students of Sarasota, Booker and Riverview high schools share. The agency in charge of providing homes for the lower-class families has released a plan to solve the issue: If your students do not show up in class, you will be evicted. Sarasota is the first city in the state of Florida to introduce this new law. Famous radio star, Bubba The Love Sponge, stated that "Maybe it will piss people off enough that they'll actually get off the public dime, so they don't have to answer to the government. Probably not.” I believe that this is a good idea to get students to stay in school, but the parents can only do so much. The parents can make sure that their kids get to school, but will the students actually stay? Does it then become the school's responsibility? Or if the kids leave campus under school hours, do the parents still lose their homes? There are a lot of questions that have been left unanswered and I feel that this is a law that should've been thought through a little bit more.
