students should be penalized for poor attendance of classes?

They are penalized if they get poor grades and don't pass, otherwise, if they do the work (this is college I'm talking about) and the kids have paid for it, I guess it doesn't matter.

Considering the teacher is the adult in the situation, he or she shouldn't worry if the students like them or not. If the student not speaking to them means that they also won't participate in class when required, then the teacher should adjust their grade accordingly. If the student does the required work, then I don't think it matters.

Weekly quizes, especially if it is a lecture class.  The students that do pay attention will find this beneficial to them for studying for the final and those that don't pay attention or don't show up will be "punished" in the grading scale.

If you don't pay attention in class, you won't do well on tests and quizzes when they come your way. Therefore, your grades will drop severely, and you will fail out of your classes, and be moved to lower level classes or even moved back a grade. You wouldn't want that, would you?

yes.  some people have special dietary needs, like diabetics who need to eat at scheduled times.  also, hunger can be distracting, causing students to be less able to focus on their studies.  lunch at school shouldn't be required but it certainly should be available.  for some students from low income families their school lunch is the only meal they get all day. i also think breakfast should be available, but that wasn't really your question.

Sounds like a cultural issue to me.  Kind of like how in Mexico they take a siesta in the afternoon.  Yet, actually the hispanic population are hard workers, a misconception, really.  I work better with a nap too!  So without being familiar with the cultural aspect of your students, I am wondering motivates?  Good grades?  Tell them if work is a day late it won't recieve better than a C no matter how good the work is.  Perhaps a reminder about how much material this course must cover this semester, how they will not be prepared for next course if material isn't covered, not getting value for tuition dollars by not working at the class or something.  This may seem strange, but what motivates the parents?  Speaking to the elders may give you insight on how to reach the kids.  Or not.  ;-)  Really, I truly wish the best for you on this, but remember that if they don't want to learn, you can't make them learn.

Are you making a corelation between students that skip school and the number of traffic accidents/injuries there are? Are you otherwise suggesting that students who choose to skip school make bad citizens and are no longer contribute to the overall good will of the citizenship?

Here is an interesting article - I typed in "poor college performance" into Google and found a few. Try this one:\nhttp://ucsdguardian.org/viewarticle.php?story=opinion01&year=2006&month=11&day=20

If you're asking, "what should be done to teachers who do not meet...?" maybe the best thing to do is report the school to the DepEd. \n\nIn certain countries, because of the lack of educators, schools and even the government overlook these things - I'm not saying it's right, it's just a reality.

my school has 3 tardies equals one absence, and 7 absences gives you an automatic F in the course, no matter what. you can file appeals but they don't go through often. it's a terrible system, and people with passing grades can get screwed if they're late a lot and get a lot of tardies.\n\nif a student doesn't want to go to school, a strict attendance policy isn't going to motivate him.

Yes, it should be mandatory.  They need to learn the basics of civility and social manners because so many aren't getting these lessons at home.

I am not surprised at all.  These students were just looking for an "attractive" excuse to get out of class and give the appearance of civic duty.  This is self-neglect because they are missing the end of school, possibly exams, and they are not helping ANYONE with these silly protests.

It really depends on the reason why. If they were doing something else like school no. However, if they were sponging off of some one else it is pretty lazy. \n\nGood LUCK!

Well, here's my advice. Don't lie, be honest and make it short. Take responsibility, but ask if there is any way that you can submit your paper late, with appropriate grade adjustments. Professors can see through lies and laziness and irresponsibility - they get the same requests every day from other students. It's actually better to meet them in office hours - email is not good
