Chapter 1: The Problem and Its Background This chapter aims to discuss the problem of students whom are being late in school and the possible outcome with reference to this study. Education is the process of facilitating learning, or the acquisition of knowledge, skills, values, beliefs and habits. It is an essential basis of good life that gives significance to it and brings into focus the social aspect of man. Numerous students were eager to learn at class however, some doesn’t care at all, for instance, they didn’t have the heart of education and the importance of it. But one of the most frustrating problem of school nowadays were students being late. It has other repercussions in addition to robbing teachers and students of precious instructional time and momentum. Students who are frequently tardy have lower grades, scores on standardized assessment and graduation rates. Chromic tardiness in elementary and middle school is associated with failure in high school. A national study reported rates of absenteeism and tardiness for dropouts. Studies have revealed

that those students with perfect or near-perfect

attendance have good grade compared to those students who misses classes often and late-comers whom teachers does not accept late homework and students miss the notes from the early discussion that’s why tardy students may fail behind their classroom work and can result into an failing grade.

This study focuses on determining the factors affecting the tardiness of Grade 10 students of BNHS-Villa Maria and to provide right school policy to help the school decrease the rate of tardiness.

Statement of the Purpose This study aimed to help decrease the rate of tardiness of the learners of BNHS-Villa Maria Annex. Specifically it sought to: 1. Determine the causes of student’s tardiness and its impact for the student’s education. 2. Help decrease the tardiness rate of the students as they arrive to school. 3. Acquired the right school policy for the student’s tardiness. Significance of the Study The recommended solution after identifying the factors affecting the tardiness of the learners will be useful to decrease the rate of tardiness. Students – Help them figure out the reasons of their tardiness in class and have some adjustment to solve their problem. Teachers – Their discussions will be thoroughly and not be interrupted by late students. They will not also suffer in computing grades. Guidance Officer – Their work will not be disturbed by the late comers and be satisfied by the performance of the students due to the fact that tardiness decreases.

Conceptual Framework Israel Cordero, an assistant principal in Dallas, Texas, says “Inevitably, there will always be students late to schools or class regardless of the plan, but is a realistic expectation to create a school climate where teaching and learning are the cone of that campus’ focus.” According to Michael A. Gottfried, in evaluating the deleterious effects of missing in school time, research has almost exclusively focused on absences, and almost no attention paid in tardiness. Hence, this study contributes a new dimension to the field by examining the effects of student’s tardiness on academic achievement. Employing an empirical model on large-scale, longitudinal, multilevel data set at urban elementary school children over 6 years of observations. There are 2 significant findings. First students with greater tardiness perform worse on standardized reading and math test. Second, holding constant an individual’s own record of tardiness, students whose classmates are tardy more frequently also have lower test scores. Hence, the achievement gap widens even further for students who also have greater individual’s levels of tardiness. Policy implications are discussions. Students are tardy for a variety of reasons, but being late to class can become a habit that can have a negative effect on their success in school: schools often establish an attendance policy that includes punishment for multiple tardies. A firm policy can help schools promote students punctuality and accountability – traits that the students can carry with them after they finish school. (Fuller, 2013)
