Absenteeism is a problem for more than just the child. Stop it early because once it starts, it is hard to stop.
3. Why Regular Attendance Is Important
- The child misses out on information presented in a straight-forward way in several subjects. The disconnect can be hard to fix;
- The student misses out on interactions that are critical for social development;
- Children who are often absent may find it harder to focus in longer classes;
- Chronic absenteeism can lead to truancy.
2. Absenteeism Makes It Harder On The Teacher
- The teacher loses some ability to present information in an organized way, as the children are no longer all “on the same page”.
