Truancy: A Review of the Literature.

Birdsong, Scott

Journal of the International Association of Pupil Personnel Workers, v24 n2 p121-26 Mar 1980

Literature on truancy shows strong relationship between school attendance problems and eventual withdrawal from school. On the basis of the assumption that the truant youth is a "potential dropout" and in view of limited literature on truants alone, truants and dropouts are considered to have similar attributes in this review.
