It might sound like great fun to skip school, until you realize the damaging consequences. Truancy, which is any unexcused absence from school, causes kids to fall behind in school, and falling behind can lead to low self-esteem and depression. Kids who skip school regularly are more likely to experiment with drugs, drop out and not graduate, and get in other kinds of trouble. Episode 7: Hop, Skip, and a Jump - Truancy is an award-winning and fact-packed animated cartoon designed to encourage thinking and discussions about the troubles caused by skipping school. Watch the cartoon and use the Rocketoons Cartoonversation™ Card to help your kids talk about how skipping school puts them on a dangerous and challenging path.
