Laboratory Work 3

1. In my opinion, children stay away from school for many reasons. One of them is family problems. If a child have some problems in family, it's naturally that his interest towards studing will be lost. Another reason of playing truant is influence of peers. When a child gets in touch with a bad company,  his peers influence on them, that's why they can't find time for attending school.

As for student's truancy, I think, that it happens, first of all, because of disinterestedness in studies, again family problems and job.

3. To my mind, the most effective things in combating truancy are the appearing of more interesting lessons, more responsible parenting and teaching students to respect school. I think that if lessons are interesting and informative, and teachers intoduce their subjects in proper way, it will motivate children to go to school. Of course, teachers and head-masters have to explain children that school can help them to enter university they like, and to have a prosperous future. But the important reason for attending school is reaponsible parenting. As it is parents, who must control their children, motivate them not to play truant.
