Principal tries to put fear of God into kids about wagging

The principal of Hamilton's Fraser High School had a bit of a revolt on her hands this morning with some students reacting to a dire warning she delivered about the folly of truancy. Virginia Crawford told the school last Thursday that that the statistics weren't good for truants. Some of the teens welcomed the sobering warning others took offense. The principal of Auckland's Massey Hugh School Glen Denham talks about the battle against truancy and whether he empathises with Virginia Crawford's tactics.
