have missed something important…  Is there going to be a test next time?  Is

there something you’re supposed to turn in?  You are afraid to go back, so

you just drop the class.  That job waiting tables must be very fulfilling!  Is there

          Being late tells a teacher (or a boss) that you are flaky and undisciplined. 

These are not traits you want to have attached to you.  If you aren’t flaky or

undisciplined, then being late says that you are self-centered and must think

that you or whatever you have going on is more important than anyone or

anything else (like school or your job.)  This is not a message you want to

send. 

          Being on time (even a little early) tells a teacher (or a boss) that you are

diligent, reliable and hard-working.  THAT is the message you want to put out

there!

Don’t miss class unless you are sick!

          Your teacher is there to help explain things and to answer questions… 

When you aren’t there, you are just left dangling out on your own with your

textbook.  If your textbook is like most I’ve seen – well, good luck with that!
