Truancy: The Consequences of Skipping School In a world where education is paramount, truancy remains a persistent issue that cannot be ignored. Truants (colour litho) depicts the alarming reality of children evading their educational responsibilities. Look out. There are the police. Wheres that? (chromolitho) captures the fear and desperation in their eyes as they try to escape the consequences. A "B" meeting (engraving) portrays concerned educators gathering to discuss strategies for tackling this growing problem. Waiting for the verdicts (engraving) showcases anxious parents awaiting judgment on their child's truant behavior, realizing that ignorance will no longer suffice. The wilful child (coloured engraving) sheds light on one defiant young soul who resists attending school, oblivious to its long-term implications. A woman angry at being summoned to a meeting with a School Board official regarding her failure to send her son to school (engraving) highlights parental frustration and resistance towards authority figures attempting intervention. At A London School Board Truant School (engraving), we witness an institution dedicated solely to addressing this pressing issue head-on. Mending and amending: a sketch at a London School Board Truant School (engraving) reveals teachers tirelessly working towards reforming these wayward students, mending broken paths through compassion and guidance. The Truant, from the picture in the Vernon Gallery (engraving), serves as a haunting reminder of wasted potential and lost opportunities due to truancy. Playing truant from school (coloured engraving), though seemingly adventurous, ultimately robs children of knowledge and growth essential for their future success. Mending and Amending, a Sketch at a London School Board Truant School (engraving), emphasizes how dedication can transform lives by providing second chances within an environment designed specifically for redemption.
