 REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

From the books that we have read, we found out that others also use the method

of using a questionnaire and one on one interview. Other researches and our research

agree on the fact that students cut class because they find school work boring. They

say that the number of students who cut class has increased due to the influence of

others. This opinion is in agreement with our study as well. However, some researchers

said that cutting classes should not be a big deal, as people make their own decisions;

but me and my group mates totally disagree with this opinion because people should

not be basing their decision based on what they think is right but on what is really right.

We also found out that the percentage of students who cut class in our country is the

same as the other countries in asia as well.
