Why Students Don’t Come to School, What to Do and How to improve Student Attendance

 Why are students not coming to school? Why are parents not supporting good daily school attendance? Why is coming to school daily still important? This is a critical question that every school and district must answer and convey to their students. Daily attendance is vitally important to life success. Today’s student must understand the value of coming to school and why it is a major life success key. During my career, I have worked in schools with as low as a 40 percent daily attendance rate. I believe it’s impossible to teach and learn if students and staff don’t show up. 

 The fact is that chronic absenteeism is on the rise, and there are specific reasons for this; however, few organizations know how to address those reasons. They often fail to address this issue by blaming poverty, bad parenting, family circumstances, and life issues of the students as the primary causes of kids not coming to school. Although all those things play a part in absenteeism, the part that is often overlooked is the dynamic between the teacher and the student.

The truth is that students and parents are totally responsible for the child’s education and coming to school. However, the facts clearly show hundreds of thousands of students throughout the country who are raising themselves with limited parent support and guidance. 

This type of student has usually not had tremendous success in the education process. Therefore, their tendency is to give up quickly, having low confidence and no hope for the future. These are barriers for students who need to understand the real purpose of education. We are the first generation of teachers who must teach the value of education. If we do not, our students will lose out in life and the school will bare the penalty of bad attendance via government penalties for low test scores.
