My granddaughters recently sent me a number of pictures they drew of Dr. Kirkcat's Adventures in Academia. The photo above illustrates why it’s important to get in the habit of attending class on time. Did I mention that they are 10 and 7 years old? They get it.

They have learned their lesson well!
There are lessons the teacher teaches without words.

Thanks, Mike. I'm thinking there is a book here on advice from Dr. Kirkcat!

I believe in on-time attendance also. Unfortunately, my VP didn't. He told a student of mine, "As long as you're here within 15 minutes, you're on time." My jaw dropped and I debated it, so he withdrew his statement.

Amazing. Does your VP allow the staff who work for him to come in tardy? I'm doubting it...Thanks for commenting.

That's awesome. These two examples illustrate the point that attendance is important quite well.
