What is tardy?

Tardy refers to being late or delayed in arrival, especially to class, work, or an appointment. It is a common problem in schools, where tardiness can disrupt the flow of learning and affect the academic performance of students. Chronic tardiness can also lead to disciplinary actions, such as detention, suspension, or expulsion. Factors that contribute to tardiness may include transportation problems, personal issues, poor time management, and lack of motivation. To avoid being tardy, it is important to plan ahead, prioritize tasks, set goals, and establish a routine for daily activities. Additionally, seeking help from teachers or counselors can provide support and guidance in addressing the underlying causes of tardiness.
