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 doesnt care at
all, for instance, they didnt 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 thats 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 students tardiness and its impact for the students
education.
2. Help decrease the tardiness rate of the students as they arrive to school.
3. Acquired the right school policy for the students 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 students 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 individuals 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
individuals 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)
