But up to now students are still unaware of what will be the consequences to their academic performance , in this study the researchers will aim on finding an answer to the different causes and how to avoid being tardy
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
Generally, the main focus of the study is to know all about the relationship between tardiness and the academic performance of the senior high school students of La Verdad Christian School AY: 2016-2017
Specifically this would attempt to find answer to the following questions:
1. What is the profile of the students in terms of?
A. age
B. gender
C .track/course
2. What are the factors for student's tardiness?
3 .How can tardiness affect the students' academic performance?
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
The result and findings of this study about the tardiness in relation to academic performance of the senior high school students of La Verdad Christian school ay:2016-2017 will both benefit to the students, teacher and also to the other researchers.
For students to be aware of the effect of being tardy especially in school so that the next time that they will do it, they will think twice because they have an idea now on what will happen to them if they continue being tardy in school.
And for teachers to be aware on those students who are always coming late or not on time in school and they can advise their students on what are they going to do to avoid being tardy in school
Researcher, so that they will have some references or ideas in the near future if they will going to take a research with the same topic

CHAPTER II
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
When students are tardy or absent, or when they drop out of school, sequential learning cannot occur, subject matter and skills cannot be developed, and much student talent is wasted .at –risk students identify in the school setting include goes exhibiting signs of alcohol consumption, drug abuse, or anti-social behaviour .this student need assistant to overcome their problems and to achieve in school. When counselling in the school setting is not sufficient, this students need to be referred to appropriate services in the community. For some high school students the immediate earnings from employment seems more significant than staying in school. This student need courses in vocational education and assistance to help them developed positive attitudes toward education, perceive alternative to dropping out, and realize the worth of long term goals. Family situations, such as cultural differences between values taught, at home and school, separation, divorce, or out. School personal need to be determine causes of tardiness, absenteeism and dropping out and to provide necessary remediation ( Ediger ,Marlow 1987)
In evaluating the deleterious effects of missing in school time, research has almost exclusively focused on absences, and almost no attention has been paid to tardiness. Hence, this study contributes a new dimension to the field by examining the effect of student tardiness on academic achievement. Employing an empirical model on a large-scale, longitudinal, multilevel data set of urban elementary school children over 6 years of observation there are 2 significant findings. First, students with greater tardiness perform worse on both standardized reading and math test. Second, holding constant an individual's own record of tardiness, students whose classmates are tardy more frequently also have lower test score. Hence, the achievement gap widens even further for students who also have greater individual level of tardiness. Policy implications are discussed. (Michael Gottfried 2012)
Personality as a ''pattern of habits, attitudes and traits that determine an individual's characteristics, behaviour and traits he further describes personality as ''the dynamic organization within the individual of those psychological systems that determine his characteristics behaviour and thoughts'' (Gordon Allport 1990)
Personality as the end result of the typical ways in which and person reacts, the product of his motivation, emotions feeling tones, style of thinking and attitudes,'' personality is partly in born and nervous system are largely responsible for the inborn aspects the associate either through imitation or through hostile reactions when we are thwarted Habits are reaction so often repeated as to become fixed characteristics or tendencies good habits results from choice and are required through effort (the encyclopaedia international,1967)
Anxiety may appear any time think of anxiety as a feeling of uneasiness, comprehension or fear that has a vague or unknown source. Anxiety affect students' performance anxiety at relatively low to moderate levels can be destructive and non-adaptive within the classroom setting there are numerous sources of anxiety for students teachers examinations peer relations achievements settings like or dislike of subjects however there are certain situations in which the students feel particularly anxious last not in other situations this describe the condition called situational anxiety there are other individuals however who are almost always in a state of anxiety called neurotic or trait anxiety (educational psychology pg.21)
Pseudo-Feebleminded is more of an emotional disorder rather than of mental retardation the term ''pseudo-feebleminded has been used because individuals in this category react with stupid behaviour manifest lack of interest in work or in ambition and reacts with extreme withdrawal from fear failure or criticism.
Dreaming state is the part of the sleep continuum called the' 'paradoxical sleep'' between waking and sleeping, so called because the subject is near to being awake (by EEG criterion i.e., use of the encephalogram-a low voltage and relatively fast pattern of changes) and hard to arouse by another increase arousal threshold it is at this stage when R.E.M (Rapid Eye Movement) occur and when REM is occurring it is difficult to arouse a sleeping subject.
THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
Elementary and secondary schools throughout the nation are adopting various techniques to get children to school on time. Many of these programs are producing positive results but the evidence still shows disturbing signs of a continuing upsurge in late arrivals in school. The US department of education, in the latest available report, shows that tardiness is a moderate to a serious problem, rising to 32.4 per cent by the year 2000,up 7.5 per cent over a six year period. The increase in elementary school tardiness was most disturbing with 27.1 per cent of principals in those schools saying it was a significant problem. Increasing 8.6 per cent over the same period School principals have been concerned about tardiness for many years but didn't take serious steps to counter the problem. Its different story now because of the no child left behind law that result in federal monitoring of school attendance and late arrivals to school. Under the law, schools face a whole range of negative consequences if students don't meet certain levels on state tests. Student who arrive late to school miss important lessons, because elementary school teachers for the most part begin their day with core subjects such as math Attendance is a major factor that states look at figuring how much funding the school districts gets and since attendance is taken at the beginning of the school day, late arrivals may be counted as absentees, thereby depriving the district of funding A significant number of school –age children have television sets in their bedrooms and a great many probably are watching late movie or one of the late night talk shows when they should be sleeping when and if they have an alarm clock ,they just continue sleep after it goes off. Among the devices principals are utilizing to cut back on tardiness include prizes for students who regularly show up on time and after school movies for those who are always punctual (Murray, Light 2000)
