According to The times when parents were responsible for their children’s academic accomplishments—and students themselves—seem to have gone. Nowadays, many people believe it is the high school administration, teachers, and the government that are responsible for students getting good grades. Before, when you got an F, your parents would blame you; today, they would rather go to your school and demand your teacher to give you a better grade. Such an approach leads to irresponsible behavior: students careless about their grades and start skipping classes, considering them to be boring. And although there is seemingly nothing wrong with skipping a boring class you think you would not need in future, in fact doing so has a number of negative impacts on your future.

To start with, parents of a student who skips school lose huge amounts of money (given that it is not the student who pays for studying). In the United States, free education is a rare privilege; every single class skipped is worth a certain amount of money. Whether a student studies at high school, college, or university, it does not matter—the average cost of a skipped class is in the range between $50 to $100 (IFR). If a student chooses to skip classes regularly, it will cost him or her or his or her parents a lot of money annually, without getting the result: education and knowledge.

The likeliness to get lower grades when skipped classes is another consequence. Whereas those who stay in class obtain at least some knowledge, even if they are not bright, a person who skips classes is at higher risks of obtaining no knowledge at all. Besides, teachers may have a bias toward such a student, and will treat him or her unfairly even though this person might be bright and studied the subject on his or her own. Needless to say, this situation can lead to a failure during exams or getting expelled from an educational institution (FRI).

According to research, only five absences is usually enough for a student’s academic performance to drop. Five more absences would most likely lead to a decreased chance to graduate a particular educational institution: on average, skippers are about 20% less likely to successfully graduate. If a student studies at high school, he or she has a 25% less chance to enter any type of higher education institution. They are also 2.5 times more likely to have to live on welfare compared to their more disciplined peers (Middle Earth).

Skipping classes has yet another not-so-obvious consequence: a student is more likely to become engaged in activities that neither the American society nor the legislative system would approve. Skipping classes does not always imply staying at home; more likely, a student would spend their time outdoors, and chances to get involved in antisocial behavior (substance abuse, shoplifting, gambling, and so on) increase. No need to say it can cause a person to enter prison eventually.

Skipping classes is not so harmless as it might seem.

LOST TRUST AND FREEDOM

according to pbis world forum Seeing that cutting is a big issue, the school will need to put more effort into interventions to address it. A logical consequence that would require more effort on the staff’s part would be students losing trust and freedom. This could be achieved by creating a check in/out system whereby students caught cutting class would be put on the check in/out system, having to sign a check in and check out sheet for each class. In addition, they may have to be escorted after the bell to classes. Students could be put on the system for one offense or after several. They would have to remain on the system for a certain period of time and be successful on it before regaining trust and being taken off.

If mornings are bad for cutting, perhaps a system could be set up where students caught cutting 1st hour or not coming to 1st hour would be required to check-in in the office in the morning otherwise their parent is called. If they continued to cut 1st hour, they would be required to be escorted to their 1st hour by their parent or guardian. If they continued to cut first hour and the parent did not follow through, then for every 1st hour they missed, they would have to stay after school to make up that hour, doing homework for an hour in a detention.

Something similar could be done for lunch time as well, if that is a time when cutting spikes. Students caught cutting lunch would be required to sign in at lunch time and sign out. Their parent would be called if they did not sign in at lunch. If they continued to skip lunch, parent would have to escort them to lunch. If that failed, they would have to make the time up either before or after school in study/homework detention.

Another logical consequence could be set up with local police authorities. Coordinating with the local police, you could have them keeping a keen eye out for class cutters and collect names of any students they found cutting. These names would be sent to the school admin thru email or something easy. These students would get detentions and be put on the sign in/out system and have parents notified. If possible, getting the local court or a willing judge to participate could be helpful to instill some fear and seriousness. A judge or court authority could perhaps drop by the school once a month to speak with the students caught cutting, assigning them community service and requiring them to give proof it was served. Or the judge or court authority could come in once a month to speak to the cutting students, requiring them to show proof they attended school detentions. If they did not, then perhaps the judge/authority would assign community service or something else. If a judge or court authority were involved in this manner and assigned community service, I would suggest that they assign it on Saturday mornings. I think students would hate this the most and want to avoid this the most.

Saturday school is another idea for class cutters. If caught, they are assigned a 3 hour saturday school detention. They bring work and have to work Saturday morning in school. Students would get one Saturday school detention for every cutting offense. If they got caught cutting 3 times in one week, then they would receive Saturday Detentions for the next 3 Saturdays. Parents would be notified and be required to escort the student into the school on those Saturdays and sign them in, then pick them up and sign them out. If you got a judge or court authority involved, they could also assign Saturday Detentions and send some formal looking letter to parents to put fear in everyone.

If you have a school/police liaison, you could keep a record of students that seem to be cutting more frequently and that liaison would do home visits to speak to the student and parent. If you were to do any of the ideas above, they could reinforce that as well.

Natural Consequences:
It can be helpful to have class content that is more important and essential presented during times when cutting seems to spike. For example, if students seem to be cutting the first half of a class, then having teachers present material that students need to know for tests, quizzes, and finals can be a good motivator to show up. If that material were only presented at those times, students may be more likely to attend in order to get the material. The material could be in the form of worksheets, lecture, review sheets, etc. Additionally, frequent quizzes and/or extra credit could be given at these times as well. the natural consequence of skipping at these times would be bad grades, being unprepared, etc.

Positive Incentives/Motivators:
Based on attendance records, you could implement a system of rewards or incentives. For example, in the morning, students with good attendance would get to bring in food to first hour to eat or get to chew gum, etc (not provided by the school, but stuff they bringing from home). Teachers could easily look at attendance to see who should and should not be receiving the incentive. Another good first hour incentive would be students with good attendance could listen to their ipods while working or they could receive the last 5 minutes of class to talk to a friend or do something fun, like go on the computer or use a laptop they bring.

At lunch, students with good attendance could have access to a special food concession counter where there are highly desirable snacks and items. You might have to do a survey to see what the students consider highly desirable or very special. Students who had been cutting would not get to use this concession and would be required to have one month of good attendance before being able to do so.

When a school is faced with handling a budget cut, it has to find a way to save money. One of the first options schools consider is cutting out music classes. At first, this seems like a good idea. The school does not have to continue paying for equipment and teachers. Students can have more time to focus on other subjects such as math and science. Everyone seems to win. It is better for the school to just get rid of the music classes. Or is it?

Some schools have gone as far as to stop teaching music classes altogether. Interestingly enough, the removal of music and other art programs has actually made these schools’ problems even worse-both in terms of the amount of money the schools have to spend and children’s academic performance. With the music and art programs gone, students have no way of expressing their creativity. Imagine a child sitting at a desk listening to a teacher talk all day long with the only fun part of the day being recess. School becomes less interesting for students, so attendance decreases. Children can no longer be human at school and cause more disruptions. This forces schools to hire more disciplinary staff, which costs more money. Furthermore, students are less compelled to learn. Studies have shown that students that have not had a musical education score lower on standardized tests. Students need a creative outlet in order to succeed, and many schools fail to take this into consideration. The plan for schools to save money by removing music programs actually backfires. These schools cannot compete with ones that do provide students with a musical education.

 

not willing to spend time

According to http://sites.pccu.edu.tw/i-say-you-say/144444/cuttingclassesincollege

It is common for students to cut classes in college. Students in college love skipping classes more than junior high students. Some students think that they are mature enough to do whatever they want. Teachers’ talk is annoying. Skipping classes and having their own way is much cooler. They think they can take responsibilities for themselves. I think there are three main reasons for this phenomenon.

     First, students usually think classes are boring. They are not willing to spend time on things they are not interested in. They may think the content of the textbook is not useful in the future. They may think they go to college just for a diploma. They go to classes just for passing tests. They would rather play computer games, video games, or anything they are interested in than coming to classes.
     Second, peer pressure is another factor that causes this phenomenon. I think peers can affect a college student a lot. Youngsters love to do things with their friends. If my friends do not go to school, I would not go to school either. I think peers are an important factor that makes students cut classes in college.
     The primary cause of cutting classes is plain laziness. Students often stay up late and thus skip classes for oversleeping. The bad weather like heavy rain is also an excuse for their absence. It is too cold to go to school, especially the school like Chinese Culture University that is situated high in the mountain. Many CCU students convince themselves to skip classes with this excuse. The fact is laziness is the real reason that makes them skip classes. On the other hand, lots of hard-working students still go to college in heavy rain as usual. Even though there are traffic jams, they can get up early, beat the traffic, and arrive at school on time.
     Although cutting classes is common, students should do their duty as a college student. Students should have positive attitude to do everything. Even though they think classes are boring, they can skip classes together, they are lazy to go school, and they are old enough to do whatever they want, they should take responsibilities for themselves.

According to Cutting classes when you don’t learn anything from them or don’t get good notes (professor who just reads his textbook) will only increase your marks if you use the time for study. Someone who goes to every class won’t perform better than someone who skips the real bad ones somethimes.

Bit, usually those who skip much get bad grades (at least at my university). Would say the max amount is about 10% (absolute max 20%) skipping, my experience learns that people who skip more get worse grades.

Ones in a while you get a really bad course, where you won’t really learn anything. After the class it’s as hard to learn from the textbook as before. You might skip these ones. But for the rest (even if it is very boring, what it tends to be a lot of classes) it will be beneficial to follow the classes. It will make learning from the textbook about the subject easier.

So, don’t skip, unless it’s a wothless teacher…… then more homework is required. Chears!!!!

based from  https://unveilingthedarksideofeducation.weebly.com/cutting-classes.html First off, cutting becomes a gateway to more dark, serious problems. How? Well, when the student manages to cut class, he /she will eventually have to find something to do with his unauthorized free time. Since most of the youth nowadays have lost several good values that act as a safeguard for several undesirable, immoral activities. The general youth in the past (the time of youth of our parents and grandparents, 60’s, 70’s, and 80’s) had big respect for the commands and instructions of their parents, they had very strong conservative views in ways such as showing very little skin in their outfits and prolonging the process of courting to over a year or two. Compared to the youth now, who wear short shorts, mini skirts and plunging neckline blouses and the courting process that takes a week to over a month, or sometimes it does not exist at all. There are even these things called hook ups where a girl is taken home by a boy and they engage in coitus even if they don’t know each other. These immoral sexual activities actually happens when lascivious teens cut class. Also bad influences (usually in the form of a student’s classmate) who will show them how to smoke or do drugs, will eventually teach them how to smoke pot and drink vodka.

cutting classes

according to cutting classes

“Education is our key to success”. It can give us a better future if we strive harder for it. There were some children out there who want to study but they have no choice because of some reasons. One of the major reasons is financial problem. Thus, every child who has given a chance to study must learn to appreciate and thank their parents for sending them to school. They are very lucky enough that they are experiencing the “student’s life”. And they must not waste the chance to learn different things that their teachers will teach them in school just because they don’t like to attend their class, meaning all students must be against “cutting classes”.

Everytime we see students walking around the campus or even sitting on the bench during class hours, there is always a question that immediately pops out to our mind, we wonder “Why these students are are outside their respective classrooms even if it’s still class hour?” And suddenly we’ll just realize, “Maybe the reason is that those students cut class”.

Well, cutting classes are now often especially to those students who are studying in public schools. Some are just irresponsible and indiscipline care whether they will attend the class or not.
