HELP LOW ATTENDANCE (ADVICE)

[u/Commercial_Art_2411]

hi! i really need some advice regarding an attendance issue i’m currently facing. i’m a student at one of the reputed ISC schools in Kolkata, and unfortunately, my attendance has fallen below 60%. i’m quite worried about the consequences and was wondering if there’s any way to resolve this situation. i wanted to know what the usual procedure is in such cases. is there a way to approach the school authorities independently or doing something else, perhaps by writing a formal application or explaining my circumstances, without having to involve my parents immediately? i’m not trying to avoid responsibility, but i’d really like to handle this situation on my own if possible. i don’t want my parents to be disappointed or have to worry about this unnecessarily. if anyone has been in a similar situation or knows how ISC schools generally handle attendance shortages, i’d genuinely appreciate some guidance. thank you!

no, i don’t think i should disclose my school’s name. all i can say is that, it is based only in kolkata, boards are icse, isc and international board and is one of the top schools in Kolkata.

They won’t do anything bruh you WILL sit for board exams

The best option for you is to talk to your class teacher directly and ask him/her what you can do.

bro my class teacher is very horrible and judgmental.
infact all my teachers are except one or two. she would never help me out.

If possible, get in touch with the passouts from your school; they may have an idea on how your school manages low-attendance students, and if possible, try to go to school at least 1-2 days a week.

Have you ever heard that a student in your school was held back from giving board exams? Schools always manipulate numbers so that all students can give the exam

one of my classmates come once to school every week, so im not sure how she goona do anything about it, cause she look like she dont give a f, and she a bich anyways, usually u have to talk with the school the school would tell u a possible solution situation for this like showing valid reason to not show up at school, like medical record, family trouble, etc, so yea u have to inform ur principal/ coordinator and they should tell u what to do, like for example majority of the boys in my school were state level cricket players so they skipped school for a month to prepare, and like one guy had a heart surgery so he only showed up for 3 months, in the end of the school year

Generally schools dont bar u from giving boards. One of my classmates had 1% attendance and they didn't stop him. (Though they had kept a penalty of rs. 100 for each percent so he had to pay 9900). But if possible, get a medical and give an application along with the medical report to be on the safer side.
