Students at your school have being arriving late to class is a recently teacher has asked you to write a report about this expla
Blizzard [7]
Entering a lesson late can cause some disruption issues, for example, the teacher usually has to tell the latecomer to sit down, and re-explain the work. Perhaps, the teacher may ask somebody else to explain it, which can disrupt their learning too. This can therefore make it worse for the child explaining, or the other children (if the teacher explains the work) as the teacher can’t be in two places at one. In conclusion, students should turn up to lesson on time or early.
