I wouldn't care if I didn't recieve a perfect attendence award and I wouldn't be too excited if I recieved one either. Perfect attendence awards are invented by the school for the sole reason of trying to keep students in school. Schools lose money for every absence and a "perfect attendence" award might give some students another incentive to stay in school. I don't think many people aim to get a perfect attendence award.
May I suggest a perfect attendence award with excused absences allowed? What do you think about that? |

I think they should. It gives kids something to aim for and makes them want to go to school. My brother was mad because he was breaking perfect attendence to go to Virginia for a basketball tournemetn for 3 days (one day being a Friday.) He eventually got over though because it was fun...I also heard colleges give out some money for perfect attendence so it can benifit in the future also.

But then it would encourage kids to forge notes which could lead them into trouble in the future if they continued to do that and made it a habit. But that probably wouldn't be too big an issue. |
