Have you ever been tardy to class? Do you get penalty for being tardy? Is it a good thing for students to be tardy? Is being tardy means that you are not smart? Why is that students like being tardy? Is it a habit? Imagine if all of sudden students decide to be tardy. What will be the outcome of that? Will being tardy affect the student’s future? A tardy student lack responsibility and shows no interest in following direction. Being on time is not only a duty for students, but also a part of good manners, respect, good reputation, influential, and useful. Tardy all the time to class shows careless and a waste of time. Therefore, students should use their time wisely and do their best at all times. Class tardiness is pretty much not an issue for student these days. It seems to be a normal thing to them. However, the reasons students being tardy can tell whether the student is being committed or not, being peer pressured, and responding to nature calls. First, students being tardy to class show that they are not committed. In addition to class tardiness, the student is 100 percent responsible for the action done in life. There is no one to blame for your own action. Many students are tardy because they had turned tardy to be a habit. A tardy mind student intends not to care much of education. The students not wanting to be there in the class makes them to be tardy. Enjoying the life is what a tardy student is doing, not knowing the consequences. Tardy to class shows that the student does not care and a sign of disrespect to the teacher. A student coming in class late really is disrespectful because the class is in session and the tardy student walking in the classroom interfering the teacher and student from learning. We all know that it is rude interfering someone when he or she is speaking. A tardy student should know how to get it done. This is why I want be tardy anymore. Second reason Why Tardiness

    They back talk teachers, skip class, and get up and leave class. Some students don’t care about school and their grades, most of them don’t even do their homework and half the time they fail test/quizes. So they’ll probably be a decrease in grades, and maybe even an increases in absents. On the other hand there’s students who want to learn, get good grades, and they take the time to study for tests/quizes so they don’t fail. But they may be getting home later so they won’t have time to study or do homework, but if they study they’ll be going to bed late so in the morning they may be feeling tired and worn out.…

    I also had a pet peeve about being tardy to class. I had heard that being late to class would rub professors the wrong way, and I wanted to make sure that I developed a good relationship with them from the beginning. I was all ways taught to be sure to make a good first impression at the beginning of the year. For most teachers, once they see you as a bright, kind, polite student, they'll always see you as a bright, kind, polite student. They'll let things slide later. I gave the impression that I care about their subject, even if I hated it. I was reasonably attentive, participate, and did the work. So I tried and was successful in my endeavor for about…

No matter what the excuse is, almost everyone agree that skipping class is not a proper behavior for the college students, so that it will lead to some serious consequences.

    There are serveral reason why one should not be late to class. One reason would be that if you are late to class you are then behind in maybe an assignment your teacher has given and she would have to go over it again with you which shows irresponsibility which is not very good for you and your school record. Learning to be on time to class helps you in the future when you plan to get a job and if you don't learn to master this it could cost you in loosing your job because have it for sure that your boss will not tolerate a late employee. Being on time to class may seem difficult but if you really know how to manage your time in the morning or in between class periods you will find yourself having absolutley no problem getting to class on time. If you are having difficulties in the morning, one day you can time yourself to see how much time you use up to get yourself ready. That way you know what time to get up so you have enough time to do whatever it is in morning without having to rush and end up once again being late. And this way you could even have time to chat with friends before class and show your teachers you really care about your education. You could also take some time the night before going to school to find the things you will need the next morning that way you don't waste time looking for lost shoes or a comb. Also something that I do personally is change the time on my clock ten minutes forward that way you trick yourself into believing it is later than it really is, it works trust…

    My personal take on this issue is I think that the reason the students don’t show up to class is they spend way too much time partying and not doing their school work. They are most of the time out getting high and drunk to care about going to classes. What I think is going on is that many of the students on campus are to hung-over or high to go to class. I think college students pay money on college and then decide not to put forth the effort to succeed because they just want to get away from their parents rules and become and independent.…
