The document discusses the importance of being on time for class. It notes that being late can disrupt the lecture, distract other students, and impede the late student's own learning. It also emphasizes that missing the introductory material at the start of class can harm understanding. The document recommends that teachers start class on time and use the opening minutes for important content to incentivize punctuality among students.

3. It is the early bird that catches the worm. The moral
behind this saying is simply routed in time management
and the benefits that come with keeping time.
When students come to class late, it can disrupt the
flow of a lecture or discussion, distract other students,
impede learning, and generally erode class morale.

5. Like the beginning of a film or the introduction to a book, the
beginning of class supplies students with critical background
and organizational information necessary for deeper
understanding. When students miss this framing information
their learning suffers.
So make sure there is a clear benefit for students who are on
time by getting started on time and beginning with important,
relevant material. Don’t waste the first few minutes of class

7. Students can feel self-conscious when they arrive
late to class that everyone is looking at them when
they enter.
This can cause anxiety which releases adrenalin
which can cause the student to be distracted from
their learning for a lengthy period of time.

9. Research has shown a direct correlation between
good attendance and student achievement and
poor attendance has been linked to poor academic
achievement.

11. If late arrival becomes a habit, the effects will be
more serious like you wont be punctual, have
more workloads, you became lazy, always be in
hurry, don’t follow the traffic rules etc.

13. I WILL NEVER BE LATE AGAIN
