Students Absenteeism

Attendance at school will also have an adverse effect on behaviour as children need the stability that a school offers. Not only do children learn and educate themselves at school but also learn to develop their social skills which are extremely important for making friends, if a child does not attend school for long periods of time then both of these key attributes will suffer leading to bad behaviour both in and out of the classroom. In order to attain attendance at school, Henry Moore allocates certificates at the end of the year; this inspires the children and their parents or carers to strive for better attendance throughout the year resulting in good behaviour from the children.

Student attendance is important to reaching key academic milestones, graduating from high school and having access to opportunities as adults. Studies show that students who are chronically absent (miss 18 days or more during the school year for any reason) are less likely to graduate from high school. SPS Housing and Education Manager Kathlyn Paananen speaks to the significance of caring adults in a student’s life as having a proven, positive impact on student success, “Best practices to address attendance include having a supportive community that positively reinforce regular school attendance!”

This category is primarily characterized by students who are struggling with time management, and therefore, are constantly having difficulty getting to class on time. Despite the fact that they may be occasionally tardy, these students often have excellent attendance and show a willingness to learn. Unlike the high school students, it appears that these students show less of a concern with social interaction and are more concerned with getting to and from their classes.

It is suggested by data from NAEP testing that school absences is one of the factors that has a negative impact on student learning and therefore on overall grade point average and test scores. In a table that shows the coloration of school days missed with the percent of student with a 3.0 of higher grade point average, in the Sioux Falls school district in South Dakota, data suggests that as

Student tardy rates have significantly hindered their attendance at CSI zero period classes. This has affected student achievement levels, and the rate at which students are retained in the CSI program, thus leading to a high student retention rate in CSI from year to year. This also results in large CSI class sizes that are not beneficial to student learning. In addition, when interviewing CSI teachers, it is apparent that numerous attempts were made to communicate with parents and remedy the attendance problem, however students continued to show up late to school, or miss zero period completely.

Building in-class continuity will help prepare young adults for the work world and requiring class attendance will help develop students for a thriving career. Fortunately, in grade school you are required to go to school. If you don’t there will be some form of consequences. However, once students enter college they now have the choice of attending class, thus, teaching inconsistency. Doing so holds back other students in the class

Always PRESENT: Students who are in class regularly do better in school; this is a fact. Make every effort to be in school every day. If you are absent, you have the number of school days you were absent plus one to turn in missed work. When you return to school, your missed work will be located in the Absentee folder bin. It is your responsibility to get your make-up work and turn it in on time. If you need an extension due to a long illness or other extenuating circumstance, please ask prior to the due date.

272). Absenteeism is a common problem in the workplace today, and it is a widespread concern in many organizations. Employees call out sick for a variety of reasons, but if it occurs frequently enough it becomes an obvious issue. Some staff members make absenteeism a habit, meaning they call out more than their peers. At this point, absenteeism results in disruptive work processes for other staff members and becomes financially draining to the employer (Sullivan & Decker,

A person may either agree or disagree with Piper’s view. Since I have expressed his view on the matter, let me point out my own opinion. I propose that grade reduction based on attendance confuses a student because this unsuccessful form of grading causes a student to believe that his academic performance is not as important as showing up to a certain number of classes. In agreement to my opinion, Piper says that “my refusal to attend class does not excuse

If a student does not attend class they present themselves as not interested in learning; or not to put in any effort at all on trying to improve. I have attended every class except one, which I had a family emergency. I made sure that I was mental present not just physically. A student can be in class everyday but not pay attention to anything, which shows they have no interest in trying to learn new skills nor have no interest to try and improve the skills they do have.

In “’A’ Is For Absent,” Chris Piper argues that students’ absences should not be reflected in their final grades. Piper writes about his experience with what he considers an unfair attendance policy. He did well on tests and projects, however, due to his numerous absences he received a low final grade. He writes that unlike in a job, where attendance is mandatory, in college it’s a choice of a paying student. Piper also writes that when standardized test scores are evaluated, attendance of preparatory courses is not considered towards those scores. He urges instructors to put aside the reasons they have for implementing attendance policies and grade students solely on performance. Although Piper presents a good written argument, I believe that his reasons are not valid. Students who do not consistently attend classes should not be graded in the same way as those who do because it creates a fair environment, it increases learning, and most importantly, it builds discipline.

My attendance in this course was 100% except I had to leave 15 minutes early in Ella-Fay’s “How to Research” class due to my father-in-law’s appointment. However, the following week I was in library for the research and evidence based assignment and Ella-Fay guided me on finding my topic. Beside this leaving 15 minutes early, I attended all classes and I was never late.

Since, this class is unique it is important to attend every session. It is stated in the syllabus that an absence of a student can change the dynamic of the group, as well as disappoint those that participate in the program. The outside students experienced this a few weeks ago when the prison went on lockdown. A couple of the inside students were not able to attend class due to the lockdown. The dynamic of the class was different without those students. On September 20th, I missed class with the inside students. I was surprised when I returned, how many inside students said they missed me in class. It was refreshing to see that they care if we attend class.

There are an unlimited number of reasons that an employee can provide for his or her absenteeism – some under the employees direct discretion, others such as illness or emergency not under the control of the company or the employee.
