ABSENTEEISM



    "The practice of regularly staying away from work or school without good reason".

How does it affect the students learning?
      
  Attendance of a student plays an integral role in the success of the School. It is not only for the success of the school but it helps the learning of the students to be broad.
Being absent without valid reason is just wasting of time, because we all know that learning is one of the most precious thing that we can be proud of, we are not stealing it rather we sacrifice for it by studying and attending to school. But , What happen if we are always absent??? As an experience ,That time when I am absent for almost 3 days because of my allergy which lead me to the hospital  I feel like i am absent for a month, Because of the lesson i missed  and i think I am too behind with the lessons , I cant participate with the discussion because I don't know the lesson, Theirs a  gap already between of my classmates,  and When we have a quiz of that time I got low score which takes me to discouragement, But as soon as I am back I did my best to cope up with the lesson. So? How much more to those students who are fun of having absences without any good reason, I know for a fact that they will missed a lot and by that it will cause them to have failing grade or having a low grade, and I know it is against to the teacher to fail their students but teachers are the one who puts the grade and students are the one who made the grade  see the difference, then if the student will get low grade or failing grade, there will be a tendency that students will now stop going to school and prefer to stay with friends and it will lead the students to have bad future.

How to Deal with them? 

In order to stop students from being absent we should have this policy of 3 consecutive absences then teacher will send a letter to the parents to know the situation of the students. And as a teacher we must think some teaching strategy that  may caught our students attention and may find them interest to attend the class.
