THEORETHICAL FRAMEWORK

A Study by Hamill Institure on Disabilities (Caldarella, Christensen, Young &

Densley, 2011) they found that students who are frequently late to School often miss out

on important opening announcements and early academic activities. As well as to the

teachers, they can become frustrated as late students disrupt instruction, and may tired or

upset of reteaching what the students have missed. And tardy behavior can also

negatively affect the overall classroom environment,

It can affect the classroom ambiance because when they arrive last in class they can

interrupt the flow of a lecture or discussion of teachers, as a result, the students

concentration to the discussion will turn to the student who arrived late in class.

Also, according to Weade lateness could affect students performance and lead to

low grade averages. And the students that have a better attendance and punctuality have

higher grade point averages. While students students with poor attendance and

punctuality have lower grade point averages.

When students come to class late they miss the important information and they

distract other students to miss it too. Nakpodia and Dafiaghor (2011) reported that

lateness or tardiness is not just the problem of the late student, but it affects the

surrounding people. A student coming late in class distracts the rest of the students and

disrupts the flow of the teacher’s discussion.
