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, why?

I think it does because if you miss school then your attendance and your grades get effected. And with that you will not have success in life.

Yes, if you miss a school day, you could lose out on the new math lessons ready that day. Missing multiple days can make you lose out on a whole subject.
There are even commercials on Channel One stating if you miss 18 days of school, you risk graduating that year.

I believe attendance at school does effect your grades because I heard that studies show that the less you are in school the more chances you have to take summer school because of low grades. I know that the more you are at school the more you learn and the better grades you have.
