Foreign Literature

Attending school regularly is a vital factor in school success for both

students and teachers .Excessive school Absenteeism is often lined to

poor school Academic achievement,so school attendance by both teachers

and students plays an integral role in the success and educational

advancement levels of any academic institution and all students enrolled.

Successful school cannot survive without physically present

students.According to the “Excessive Absences Intervention” research

study by author Linda L. Williams, excessive absenteeism by students may

additionally result in poor academic achievement because students are not

receiving instruction on a consecutive basis. This problem also causes low

standardized test score because absent students are not present to learn

key concepts and sills that are assessed on standardized exams.

Excessive student absenteeism can lead to an increasing disinterest in

school and academic in general. According to author Jason A.

Choeneberger’s “Longitudinal Attendance Patterns” study, excessive

absenteeism increases the chances of a student eventually dropping out of

school, which can lead to long term consequences for these students,such

as lower average incomes,higher incidences of unemployment and a

higher livelihood of incarceration. Choeneberger asserts that students who

drop out of school face a higher risk” of poverty because of their inability to

secure quality paying employment due to their lack of education and

resources.Dropouts who lack education and resources are more likely to

commit criminal activity leading to incarceration.

According to the center for Comprehensive school reform and

improvement, attendance rates affectively predicted whether a student

would fail a course or not,and surprisingly, attendance rate trumped grade

point averages in predicting whether a student would fail a class or not.in

other words,a students could perform very highly academically, but would

likely still fail if he missed too much class . Additionally,the more a student

missed school over the course of several subsent/sent years of school,the

more his A declined and further behind he became in all subjects.
