Right. Which is to say they pretend to teach and we pretend to believe them.

Yes. But that's the way the system works. We've decided, as a society, that parents have the right to manage their child's education, as long as they at least claim to be educating them. Parents of truant children aren't making that claim at all. They're more than welcome to do that, if that's what they want, but they're usually not interested in attempting home schooling either.

And yes, I agree that home schooling is, in almost all cases, a problem. I know some parents choose it because the schools refuse to follow IEPs for children with documented disabilities, and they simply don't have the resources to sue the schools to force compliance. But that's not most families that home school.

Maybe the DA shouldn’t be the one charged with fixing the problem.

The DA is charged with fixing only one part of the problem, rather than the entire problem. In an ideal world, all of the systems would be working together perfectly, but since we have some people that are determined to break the system, and since they keep throwing sabots in the machinery, that's not happening.
