Actually, the reasons that lead young people to miss school are
varied, we can find des want to sleep more, disinterest or avoiding school
exams or professors.
There is no clear relationship between absenteeism
"normal" and academic performance, if it is clear that a very
prolonged absence and sustained over time obviously will bill the student's
performance and their perception of the desirability of further studies leading
to many occasions in abandoning them.

The solution passes by three actors: Student, Parent and School
Profile truant student
Studies by researchers, on the other hand not too many have
concluded that it is difficult to define a truant student profile. What we
do know for sure is that the phenomenon is widespread.
In countries such as Switzerland and as a population study of
4,000 students (13 to 17 years) 95% reported ever having been absent class
while 13% reported an assiduously realize.
Another survey conducted in Germany on students, concluded among
other results, that it is boys who are absent more classes than girls,
specifically, twice.
On the other hand are often the first and last classes of the day
when they are chosen to skip class.
Reasons why students miss
school
Keep in mind that there are a number of factors that influence a
greater or lesser extent in decision making by a student who wants to skip
class to do it. It would be interesting to consider these factors when
conducting a study Local absenteeism.
Socio-economic factors, family, environmental, climate,
infrastructure in the school environment, etc ... are some of them, for
example, using a simple example, students in schools near entertainment centers
have more options scratched using the class time in other leisure activities.
Truancy is often many times the "out" by which
professionals in family therapy "pull" and find other abnormalities
in the family.
In any case some of the reasons for absenteeism in some European
countries such as Switzerland and Germany are:
·
Lack of motivation
·
Teaching boring
·
Fear of examinations
·
Doing homework
·
Wanting to avoid the
teacher for lack of understanding
·
Cutting class with friends
·
Harassment and violence by
classmates. The latter rising.
Consequences of missing
school
Absenteeism frequent and sustained over time endangers the development
of children and young people in relation to those who perform sporadically or
who do not perform. The consequences are often poorly adapted to the
group, low or very poor school performance and school failure often with
dropout.
The behavior of these students with frequent or very frequent absences moved to social and family with considerable potential for criminal behavior, damage to property or you document forgery in certificates or transcripts to be supervised by parents or guardians.
Extent of the problem
The serious truancy is not only the problem of the
student. Every time extends the view that schools with high shares of
absences deny their students the right to receive training.
Many of these schools have been put to work and have begun to assess
the magnitude of the problem trying to implement solutions.
An example of
this is made by some schools in UK which keeps a record of all absences and
their motives when they have reached a certain number is set a series of
meetings with parents to discuss the problem.
In some areas of other countries like Germany reward punctuality
to school truants and justification "legal" faults, using a point
card that guard the student's parents. After the course can redeem these
cards with points on items with a value of up to 100 euros.
