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 behavior .this student need assistant to
overcome their problems and to achieve in school. When counseling 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 Gottfried2012)
Personality as a ‘’pattern of habits, attitudes and traits that determine an individual’s characteristics, behavior and traits
he further describes personality as ‘’the dynamic organization within the individual of those psychological systems that
determine his characteristics behavior 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 encyclopaediainternational,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 behavior 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 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.
