                 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?

  2. No poor attendance does not affect grades in my opinion. If your are at school and you are using that time wisely and getting great grades then there is no problem.

  6. Yes, I do think missing school affects your grades. You miss a lot when you don't go, so you miss a lot of learning. And, you kind of have to learn whatever was taught on the day you missed, on your own.

    In my opinion not really because if you miss a couple days of school then it's not a problem, but if you miss school for like a month then it's a huge problem.

  26. I think poor attendance does affect your grades because you miss out on some things in school. For example I was absent Friday due to a field trip for All City and in math we took tests and reviewed for a lot of things and I missed out on that kind of stuff and I probably didnt do as well on the test as I should have.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Yes because you miss alot of things that you should be learning but at the same time you cant get caught up on it .

  28. Yes I believe attendance effects your grade becuase if you dont show up you miss assignments and you can miss notes for the test or something. If you miss an assignment anywyas it goes in the grade book as a zero. Thats why I always try to go to school if I am not feeling well becase grades follow you through your whole education.

  29. Kind of because I dont really like riding the bus but it gets me where I need to go.

  30. Yes because if you do not show up to school you won't be able to learn the new subject you're supposed to learn and when you have to take the test on the material that you missed, you will not know what to do and bomb the test. (._____.)

  31. I think that it all depends on the person because if they miss a week and don't try to get all there work they miss and they don't understand the work then yes it does affect it.But if they get all there work and understand and ask for help then no it doesn't affect there grades.

  34. no, I dont really think that poor atendence ruins my grades because if you miss school teachers just make you redo every thing. But then again you could be behind if you were absent to long and you try to do every thing but you just can't cause it is to much.
