A teacher: Principal, I recently listened to a podcast that stresses the importance of regular attendance if students are to do well in their exams. Can you assure me that students who take occasional breaks or days off will not have their academic performance harmed?
Principal: Students' academic performance will not be harmed by occasional breaks or days off. Regular class attendance is not an irrevocable "instant boost" that guarantees high exam scores. Attending classes regularly does help, but many factors contribute to strong academic performance, among them self-study, participation and overall well-being.
