Late Arrival at School
When your child arrives late at school, he/she misses the teacher's instructions and the induction to the lesson. Your child may also feel embarrassed at having to enter the classroom late.
| Minutes late per day during the school year | Equals days worth of teaching lost in a year |
| 5 minutes | 3.4 days |
| 10 minutes | 6.9 days |
| 15 minutes | 10.3 days |
| 20 minutes | 13.8 days |
| 30 minutes | 20.7 days |
Frequent lateness can add up to a considerable amount of learning lost, and can seriously disadvantage your child.
