attendance during sixth form?

Scroll to see replies

One problem with having a low attendance is the fact that employers will look at it and think you are a massive skiver, so you may find it difficult to get a job.

My attendance was :smile:

e mainly because of how serious my hobby became during year 10 and 11, and through to year 12, it took over and generally when i could go, i didn't feel like it. Oh, and i hated certain things with a burning passion, so i stayed in bed.

But what about when you need to get a referance from school and the person giving it is asked for your attendence?

my brother never went,

whats the point in turning out for a couple of lessons and sometimes he had no lessons at all, and they expected you to go.

But, who would work if they were in a room full of all there friends with music going, you'd be mad enough to work!lol.

so he just went home = pore attendance

they have chosen to stay in education simply because they are now get paid £30 a week just for turn up to school!!! :mad:

one of my mates are getting that just because their parents can't prove their income which is annoying. His dad owns his own company so he is already rich but can't prove his income. He always turns up for school anyway so he is getting money that he doesn't need.

My attendance so far has been 100%- it has to be cos I get £20 a week EMA :biggrin:

but even if I didn't, I'd go to all my lessons anyway. I don't see the point of people staying in education when they don't have to if they're just gonna skive all the time. I think the EMA is the reason why Year 12 now has such good attendance in the morning though. The Year 13s don't get it, so they don't really bother registering.

I only miss the pointless days (i.e. prizegiving), or when I'm ill or if I have some kind of appointment.

So this term I was ill a couple of days, missed prize giving, had an interview at a 6th form...

I don't like missing school and take my work seriously.

In lower sixth my attendance was appalling.Well,it was good for the first month then it was something like 74%.I just took advantage of the fact I could miss lessons and not get punished for it,unlike at my school.I went a bit mad on the freedom I think!

This year it's more like 94%.I've been ill with a viral infection and slept in a couple of times but apart from that I try and go to every lesson.I got a bit of a shock when I got my AS level results and decided I better get my act together!

In our school, you have to swipe your card through a machine in order to register. The problem is that the machine is always on the blink. I probably have 0%.
