Our institution requires a minimum level of attendance. Often, students fail to meet this requirement and as a result, we must terminate their enrollment. I've often found it difficult when I have to act as a truancy officer to make them feel like they should be attending. Often, calling a student at home to say "You've been missing a lot of class" can drive them away, though I know sometimes they need to know we're paying attention. Finding a balance with this is a daily struggle.
