From the opening
Compulsory schooling, more precisely compulsory attendance, is a statute that requires children in a span of ages to be in a school or in an alternative the law recognizes. The legal duty is about being present under an approved arrangement, not about a measured amount of understanding. The opening covers the duty is enrollment and presence, truancy enforces unexcused absence, and approved alternatives can satisfy the law.
