concepts of financial management, business management corporate operations

ABM students are excellent for being punctual in their first period subject, the
reading and writing subjects. This good habit for the students will not just give a
good record for the students, as saying goes “ Early birds always catches the
worm “, this is also a good practice for the future career of the students, and
finally it shows respect to the teacher and to the other students who went to
school early. ABM students come late to school subjects and as a result;
academic subjects will be affected as well as the grades and they will be able to
missed classes asset affects their class performance . Tardiness is one of the
problems that a student’s faces nowadays. Students need guidance from their
parents, especially that “millennial” are now addicted to mobile games, and any
social platforms that results them to sleep late at night and they go to school late.
Nowadays, tardiness is not much of an issue for students it seems to be a normal
thing. Nonetheless, some reasons that cause the tardiness among the students

distract other students, impede learning, in generally erode class moral.
Moreover, if left unchecked, lateness can become chronic spread through out of
the class because there are a number of possible reasons students arrive to
class late. A tardy student represents a lack of responsibility. Being tardy all the
time is a sign of carelessness and waste of time. Being on time is not only a duty,
but also a part of good manners, respect and reputation. Students who arrived at
school early have an advantage over classmates who stumble through the door
after class has begun. Students arriving to school with time to spare, have luxury
of settling in preparing their class materials and focusing their minds on the
lessons to come.

1.4 THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK

Punctuality can be defined as the quality or habit of adhering to an appointed

time, or the ability of individuals to coordinate time. It can be associated with
promptness, readiness and regularity, and can be seen as one of the crucial
ingredients of modern life (WordNet 3.0, 2008; Basu & Weibull, 2002). Being on
time is noted as necessary in developing and maintaining satisfying relationships
with others, structuring one’s life, and being successful on the job (Back,
Schmukle & Egloff, 2005). A person’s punctuality is also noted to make life easier
for those who they interact with (Basu & Weibull, 2002). The opposite of
punctuality is tardiness, the quality or habit of not adhering to the correct, usual
or expected time (WordNet 3.0, 2008). Some varying quotations about
punctuality (Collins, 2015):, ‘Punctuality is the politeness of kings’-Louis XVII, ‘I
am always late on principle, my principle being that punctuality is the he if of
time’-Oscar Wilde,‘Punctuality is the virtue of the bored’-Evelyn Waugh.

The habit of being prompt once formed extends to everything meeting friends,
paying debts, going to church, reach and leaving place of business, keeping
promises, retiring at night and rising in the morning, going to a lecture and town
meeting, and indeed to every relation and act, however trivial it may seem to
observers.-William Makepeace Thayer (Thayer,1882,p.224)
