Truancy At Vocational High School

INTRODUCTIONNaughty student is a form of student behavior that

deviates from the rules of the school such as is truant. Truancy called youth delinquency because it is already a truant behaviors reflecting violated school rules.

The word "truant" is very popular in primary school students until high school students.

Truancy is a response to boredom that are often experienced by many students to the school curriculum. Not only in big cities have seen students who are truant, even schools are located in the villages truant behavior has become a hobby.

Truancy, or unexcused absence from school, that because no apparent reason, not because of illness or other reasons. Truancy has been linked to serious delinquent activity in youth and to significant negative behavior and characteristics in adults.This problem needs serious handling. Because, this problem will be bad, both for the students themselves and to the school environment.

What is Truancy ?

How they do the truancy ?

The students usually went from home in the morning with a uniform, but they were not in

school.

Many reasons that make they skipped from school. Truancy fall into three broad categories, there are :

Why They Skipped (Truant) From School?

1. Family Factors

These includes : financial, social, medical, or other

programs that pressure students to stay home to help with

family, Child abuse and neglect, Family disorganization, Teen

pregnancy or parenthood, Lack of family support for educational

and other goals, Violence in or near the home or school, Differing

culturally based attitudes toward education.

2. School Factors

These includes: school climate such as school size and

attitudes of teachers or other students, and administrators—

and inflexibility in meeting the diverse cultural and learning

styles of the students. Schools often have inconsistent

procedures for dealing with chronic absenteeism and may not

have meaningful consequences available for truant youth.

3. Student Factors

These includes: a lack of personal and educational

ambition, Poor academic performance, Low school attachment,

Retention/overage for grade, Poor relationships with other

students, Lack of self-esteem, Unmet mental health needs,

Alcohol and drug use and abuse.

Consequences of Truancy

• Dropping out of school. Students who are chronically truant typically fall behind in grade level and drop out of school.

• Delinquency. Students who are chronically truant are also at-risk for other behaviors, such as alcohol and drug abuse, teenage

pregnancy, and delinquency.

• Negative effect upon other students. Students who are chronically truant require extra time from teachers; teachers have less time to spend with the regularly-attending students in the classroom when

they must create make-up work for truants.

THE ACTIONS THAT CAN DO TO REDUCE TRUANCY

There are many actions for reduce truant habit in students such as:

0 Discuss any attendance

problems. And then Giving an

advise for the child.

0 Teachers are always creative,

innovate to create a cheerful

atmosphere of the class is fun

and lively.

0 Giving responsibility both in

class and in school, which can

raise self-esteem and the trust.

For example, by following the

organization of the school as a

caretaker classes, etc.

0 Engaging all students in the

learning process. So the lesson

presented is not boring, such as

hold a quizzes, games, conduct

research, etc.

0 And many many more .

For example : A high school in California, USA, Anaheim

Union High School District, to implement a new way to overcome

the problem of students who like to truant habits. Instead of

punishment, students who skipped their school fact that even

given the 'gift' of a GPS mobile. Certainly is not a gift in the truest

sense. The device is basically a punishment, but is considered

more educated than the physical or mental punishment directly.

Any student caught truant at least four times a year will be

equipped with that device. They must report automatically with

the menu on the device five times a day, which is now going to

school, when they arrive at school, at lunch, at school, and every

day at 20.00.

ConclusionTruancy in fact do by students who can not be responsible for

themselves and not be able to respect themselves.

However, they can not be separated from the factors that cause students to truant from school, such as family factors, school factors, factors from students themselves.

And all actions of truant habits be result :0 Dropping out of school. 0 Students are also at-risk for other behaviors, such as alcohol and

drug abuse, teenage pregnancy, and delinquency. 0 Negative effect upon other students. .

For problem solving it required special attention both from their family and their school.

Sugesstion

We recommend that students who are truant

give punishments or advice. But, hard punishments are

not always able to problem solving. But it would be nice

if the approach taken by the student like a friend. If that

way does not work, then steps must be taken is to

contact parents of students to be solve the problem

well. The support to repent from family, friends or

friendship is the most important.
