    The document argues that teachers should not penalize students for missing classes. In three sentences: Penalizing students for absences can discourage them from attending class in the future, limit their freedom to decide whether to attend certain classes, and potentially lead students to social problems if they feel discouraged from punishment. Instead of penalties, the author suggests teachers should encourage attendance through clearly explaining the benefits of attending class and not implementing mandatory attendance policies tied to grades.

    SHOULD NOT PENALIZE STUDENTS WHO MISS


    CLASSES

    Class attendance policy is one of the ways to encourage students


    to come to class regularly to gain useful knowledge. To avoid missing
    classes, teachers will apply penalization to. However, will students
    come to class more often and study better after applying penalty? As a
    teacher, I totally disagree with applying penalization of students
    missing class because that can make students discouraged of
    studying, limit students freedom, as well as leads them to social evils.
    Firstly, students can be discouraged or lost face when being
    punished. In fact, students usually feel ashamed of penalization and
    they then do not want to come to class again. Instead of being
    penalized, students should be encouraged to attend class and they
    would participate regularly if teachers explain clearly the usefulness of
    class attendance like getting more knowledge and not missing
    important lessons. Griffin, a student from DePaul University stated that
    whether professors had attendance requirements or not, she tries to
    regularly attend her classes to learn from the lectures.

    Secondly, penalizing students skipping classes may limit their


    right of freedom because missing classes is the right of students in
    some acceptable situations. They can decide to study or miss classes
    when realizing that period is not necessary or in some urgent
    situations like funerals or wedding of their relatives. Professor Kelli
    Marshall teaches media and film classes at DePaul University and does
    not implement a mandatory attendance policy. She gives her students
    the opportunity to earn participation points via weekly quizzes and
    discussion questions. Additionally, As students paying to enroll in
    these courses, the attendance should be up to us and not roped into
    course grading in any way shape or form Artley said.
    Thirdly, students feel discouraged from being punished of
    truancy, thus, they decide to stay outside world and are influenced by
    social evils. Truly, the ideal hands are the devil workshop and students
    can get together with criminal people to rob, steal, gamble, or use
    drug. With using the penalty, teacher indirectly makes students future
    life gloomy.
    Some of educators express that penalization should be used in
    school to help students become good graders and that partly effects
    on some situations. Teacher, however, should not use penalization as

    main regulations to force students to attend class. Artley once again


    said punishment by grading with ten to twenty percent of students
    score coming from attendance is a poor judgment of an individuals
    competence in the course.
    In conclusion, penalization is not an effective way of encourage
    students attending classes regularly because of discouraging students
    studying, limiting students freedom and especially indirectly leading
    them to social evils. Therefore, teachers should think of other policies
    to enhance students attendance in class.
