Truancy: How Parents and Teachers Contribute.

Little, Linda F.; Thompson, Rock

School Counselor, v30 n4 p285-91 Mar 1983

Compared attitudes and behaviors of parents and teachers toward junior-high habitually truant students (N=94) and regular attenders (N=94). Data from the Little Parenting Valuing Styles Scale and Little Teacher Valuing Styles Scale suggest parents may contribute to truancy by being overprotective and overindulgent. Teachers may reject and overprotect truant students. (JAC)
