But when kids are absent for an average of just two days of school per
month even when the absences are excused it can have a negative impact. These
absences can affect kids as early as Kindergarten. For example, young elementary
school students who miss an average of just two school days per month often
have difficulty keeping up with their peers academically and tend to fall behind in
reading. Which is when kids transition from learning to read to reading to learn,

others because the title aims to know the effects of absenteeism to the academic
performance of the grades 9 and 10 students while the others aim to have
The respondents of the study were the Grades 9 and 10 students. There were
fifty six (56) respondents. Twenty-eight (28) students from Grade 9 Integrity and

of the development of the paper. This population was chosen because they will be
