Truancy And Absenteeism Be The Problem Within The School System

Obtaining an education is essential in today’s society. Most students who attend school on a regular basis usually succeed in life. On the other hand, many students fail to attend school every day which can lead to problems in schools. However, some students have acceptable reasons for dropping out. As a result, a student’s punctuality can ultimately alter his or her education. On that note, dropping out of high school can affect an individual in many ways throughout the years. Schools are facing challenges dealing with high dropout rates, high rates of truancy, and low graduation rates because students are failing to attend school.

From the research up to 5 percent of children doesn't want to go to school, which can occur more common in children 5-10 years old. Somebody has negative behaviors such as crying, yelling and refusing everything about the school. This the problems have many reasons, for example, sometimes they are fear something bad will happen to them alone or they worry about getting out in front of the class. All the problem can be remedy by the

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!”

Schools are over populated here, 40-50 pupils in one classroom, learning process is not easy. Because of that it is impossible for the teachers to pay attention to every student in the classroom and to get almost the same result, because of that many pupils just attending the classroom without any interest in studying or learning.

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.

“Research evidence suggests that pupils' behaviour can be influenced by all the major features and processes of a school. These include the quality of its leadership, classroom management, behaviour policy, curriculum, pastoral care, buildings and physical environment, organisation and timetable and relationships with parents.” (Elton Report, DES, 1989)

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.

An additional factor of academic success is the chronic absenteeism rate in school. According to edsight.ct.gov, Connecticut’s online data retrieval website, the statewide chronic absenteeism percentage was 9.6% for 2015-16. Chronic absenteeism, defined in Connecticut Public Act No. 15-225 , is when a student “misses ten percent or greater of the total number of days enrolled in the school year for any reason.” Additionally, in the 2015-16 reporting, students identified as requiring special education services had a chronic absenteeism sate of 18.1% compared to 8.3% of non-special education students. Grade level breakdown indicates that the percentage of students chronically absent increased from 8.4% in 7th grade to 12.9% in 9th grade and a staggering 17.8% in 12th grade statewide.

The administrative staff had to change their way of thinking they were set on being a patrol for the students and their efforts were in vain because the students ignored their presence. The teachers had to change their mindset and direct their efforts towards teaching the students and focusing on the standardized tests. According to Dr. Lewis, characteristics of the students must be understood by the teachers if they fail to under the characteristics they will not know the problems the urban students bring in. Initially, there was no bureaucracy consequences of the student’s misbehavior. Teachers cannot encourage the destructive student to steal time, additionally the students’ had no desire to learn and they displayed basic polarities of urbanism such as the

The other reasons that they added for student dropout of high school low GPA and work related. This implies that students have a lots pressures including personal, environmental and financial problem that make it harder for them to earn their diploma. Especially for those who grew up in the family with a low-income; it’s challenging due to lack of social support and resources. As I research, I acknowledge the problems about high schools dropout is very complex. However, over all, the main factors for student’s lack of academic achievements are family structures, communities and schools. Negative impacts come when students feel that their parents, schools and the communities are not there for them. When children obtain support, they will have

This plan should include positive behavior supports that will address the lack of attendance. A positive behavior support plan should include input from the student and should provide motivation for increasing the positive behavior. A reward or token system may be effective. This could include “earning” privileges such as lunch with a teacher, extra computer time/art time, a homework pass, etc. after the student has attended school for a certain number of

Thesis Statement: More and more students drop out each year. Those who dropped out have various reasons. The alarming rates of drop outs have led them to a bleak future wherein such incident requires the attention and immediate action of various school authorities.
