School Skipping
School is the most important thing in a child’s life.Throughout his growing life, high school is going to affect him mostly, and show him what way his life is going. Sadly, a lot of students fail to attend school daily and sometimes tend to skip often. These students do not realise the consequences of skipping just yet, but they soon will realise their mistakes and regret it later in their lives. Skipping needs to stop in order to achieve the ambitious educational goals set for them by our national leaders. But why do they continually skip, even after the numerous warnings we give them?And most importantly, what’s going to stop them from skipping? The most popular answer student give when asked why they skip, is that school is boring, and they could be doing “more important stuff” then listening to a teacher talk about mathematical equations, but its so much more than that, but they do not understand that. They think about the present and not about the future. Statistics show that “students who miss more than 10 days of school are more than 20 percent less likely to graduate from high school than their peers”. And statistics are there for a reason, they are based on facts.Another cause for skipping school is oversleeping, which is how the lazy people explain themselves for not showing up to class.They say excuses like “my alarm didn’t go off” or “my mom forgot to wake me up”etc… Ultimately, there is no excuse of why you should skip school. Attending school is mandatory for a student’s life, and should be taken more seriously but the students and their parents. Parents have a great impact on the student’s thoughts on school, therefore parents possess the power to make their children stop skipping school and start caring more for their future. While there are many reasons why a student skips school, there are also many solutions to go through to fix the situation and make the students want to go to
