Why are students late for school?

* Oversleeping: This is the most frequent cause of lateness. Students underestimate the time it will take them to get ready, or they may simply stay up too late at night.

* Transportation issues: This includes problems such as car trouble, missed buses, or traffic jams.

* Family issues: A family emergency or other obligations may prevent a student from getting to school on time.

* Medical issues: A health problem may delay a student, such as an illness or a doctor's appointment.

* Other personal reasons: These include things like forgetting something at home, getting lost, or having to help a friend.

Some students may also be chronically late for school due to a combination of these factors, or because they have a negative attitude towards school.
