Attendance

Many countries have very poor attendance in their schools, mostly because of transportation. You are very fortunate in our public school system to have free busing.
Today think about your attendance.
Do you feel your attendance effects your grades at Dirksen?

I dont think that attendance effects your grade because your grades are besed in how you do in school not how you do at home or anywhere else.

It will effect you big time because your attendtion goes with you to high school and that is really bad to do that.

GinaG8A said...

If I was absent for a day or two, I think it would affect my grades. Well it happens to me anyways. Because when we do test on the material I missed I end up failing the test.

If you don't come to school, you have to do all this make-up work and it is hard to get it all done sometimes.

I feel that my attendance effects my grades at Dirksen because if I miss too much of school then I'll miss the lessons and I would never be able to do the work, so my grades will go down.

I do think attendance affects your grades. When you are absent so many times, then you will not really learn much.

Attendance does effect my grades at dirksen. When you're absent, you missp a whole day of learning and when you come back you aren't going to know what's going on. Teacher's dont't really have time to get you all caught up because they are busy moving on with the other kids.

Shee H. 8A said...

Perfect attendance can affect how you learn because if you have perfect attendance you haven't missed a day of learning.

BellaBear cx 7A said...

I think that it does affect your grades because you do miss a whole day, and I do miss a lot of school because we moved and we're a bit far away now.. so it's kind of hard to wake up earlier, and get ready and leave in time to go to school. My grades lower a lot in Math because of my absenses.. so yeah.

Oscar T 7A said...

Camila Zavala said...

I feel that attendence does affect your grades.Students can be absent everyday and not study nothing.When there is test and they give you the study guide before the test.Thats not good because you didint study as much.

Daniel Torres 6A said...

I feel like attendance doesn't effect grades because that person that was absent might know what the class learned.

Kionni Simmons said...

Yes,because you will miss out on your notes and it will be hard for you to concentrate. Then when you take a test you will most likely gat a bad grade in my opinion.

RoyR 6 A said...

I do think my attendence has to do with my grades. One reason for this thought is because if your not here for a lesson plan then you wont know what to do on a test. Especially if you learn a new formula or type of math

I think your attendnce does affect your grade because if your absent your grade will count as a 0, unless your able to do make up work and when your absent you will miss a day of learning and you wont be able to know all the answers for the following.

Carlos Lockwood 6A said...

I believe that attendence does indeed affect one's grades because, say, there's a REALLY big test coming up, you're absent. Henceforth, your grades drop from an, say, A+, to a, say, a C-.

Break your 3 normal main meals into 5 smaller portion sizes -
morning, snack, lunch, snack, dinner. Vitamin B3 or also called as Niacin is important in
weight loss because it is responsible for the regulation of thyroid
hormones and also in sugar levels in the body.
Many people don't have the time to weight themselves every day, but checking the scale on a regular basis can definitely help when you're working to lose weight and keep it off.
