It sure doesn’t seem to be the law nowadays. I see so many kids who are “home schooled”, only there is no schooling going on. They are just hanging out on the beach, malls, movies, neighborhood….gone are the days of laws and truant officers. I have a friend who is home schooling….she actually is teaching her kids that the earth is FLAT. Not kidding.
Tigers not good at hunting? I don’t believe that for a second! Like all cats,tigers are sprinters, not marathon runners.they need to make several attempts at catching prey before they are successful generally. The good news is a kill will generally feed them for several days.If they had a 90 per cent success rate there would’nt be too much left alive in the jungle!

Can children who belong to certain ethnic groups use that as an excuse not to go to school?

Niger is also a country in Africa. And as there are no tigers in Africa, the lady had never seen one, which excuses her so thoughtlessly riding one.

I’m sorry Mom, “IT’S THE LAW” has to be the lamest excuse ever!

I was never reluctant about going to school, I knew I had to go.
But I’ve learned a lot more now than I did in school. Many people do.
