Recently there are about 55,000 children who don’t go to school each day in England. According to the law（法律）,all children between five and sixteen must go to school on weekdays, and their parents must make sure of this.

The government is worried, because, according to a research, children who often don't go to school are more likely（可能的）to smoke, drink under age or do some other bad things.

Since 2002,the police have kept checking town centers where truants（逃学者）often go. These happen twice a year. During each check, a student will be stopped and asked why they are not in school.
