Skipping school

Do you ever bunk off from school?

Well according to new figures more than 40,000 students are skipping school at least two days a week.

That's enough to fill half of Wembley stadium!

The stats show that 300,000 more children are at risk of doing the same...they are already bunking off on the odd day here and there.

Teachers reckon it's because of deep-rooted social problems.

Mums and dads get fined now if kids are caught out of the classroom.
