3 Reasons to Be on Time for Class - A Word for Teachers and Students

Did you know that it is important to come to class on time? Do you know how important it really is? Here are 3 reasons why you should be on time for class.

1.  Studies have shown that coming to class is vital to retention of what you learned that day. Of course the later you are in coming, the less you will see, hear or do, so I am sure that has something to do with it. But it has more to do with your mind not being prepared to learn.

2.  Moreover, these studies have shown that even if you are just a few minutes late to class you may retain up to 80% less than someone who came on time.

3.  You see, most experienced teachers consciously or unconsciously go through natural phases of class. The first phase of class is generally going to be one that takes your mind off of your busy day, and moreover frees your mind to wholeheartedly join in on training; to become an active listener and participant. This initial phase is a necessary part of training that ensures retention of the lesson for the day, but also makes for a safer training environment.

The next time you have a choice to sit on the couch for a few extra minutes, or stop off for a coffee, remember that when you are walking in late to training, you may only keep 20% of what you go over that day. It is simple; you have to be plugged in or you could be "just sweating, instead of learning."
