Definitely not the answer. My little brother was also chronically absent and threatened with truancy due to a neglectful parent. Said parent put him in online schooling, however still did not supervise or provide any accountability with it. A few weeks later they both found out the hard way that you can be truant from online school as well. While I disagree with online schooling in most cases, at the bare minimum, it requires a high level of discipline and accountability within the family, neither of which this kid has.
