 INTRODUCTION

The research entitled “The Cutting Class of Students” because of they

wanted to discern and take deep explorations concerning the behaviors of

different individuals, specifically the junior and senior students who manage

cutting classes and how such deed affects their academic performance.

Educational institutions are not only for mental sacrifice and mental

quotient feedbacks but also for correcting, disciplining any forms of behavioral,

moral, and social problems being faced by the students. The researchers are

very certain and confident to say that students’ problem has enough period of

growth and development. This development starts at the comfort of their homes

and families. Thus, it results to that of the school institutions becomes the

“scapegoat” for their problems. Consequently, professors, teachers, and school

administrators have to face and shoulder all sorts of problems from their

respective students. Such is considered as the most burdensome for any school

teachers and staff.

The researchers all know that this is the stage where most of the students

are beginning to be curious about life. This is where they start came out from

their “comfort zone”, explore life and make their own decisions.

Every time a student cuts class, it’s inevitable that they are also cutting

their education. It is said that going to school is like a having a job, they are

mostly alike in such reason that you get paid with knowledge.

 An effective education abets everyone and aids them in getting a job

worthy of their hard work. Just as a saying goes, “ with a good job, you’ll have a

good life, but by having a better job, you’ll have a better life.”

Having a suitable and profitable job will not only benefit you, but also your

family in which in turn will help them carry out a bountiful life.

Researchers would like to know what triggers the students to do cutting

classes. Also, to be abreast regarding the satisfaction the students get. As well

as to know how the problems affect the academic performance of the said

respondents.

National High School.
