Tardiness negatively impacts both students and teachers. Students who arrive late to class miss important lessons and instructions, which can lead them to misunderstand material and potentially fail classes. Their tardiness also distracts teachers and other students from the lesson. If left unaddressed, habitual tardiness can continue into the workplace and negatively impact one's life and career. To avoid tardiness, students need to practice proper time management, commit to attending class on time each day, and ensure they get enough sleep or wake up early enough to arrive at school when classes begin. Tardiness is a problem that everyone should be concerned with addressing.
