Frequently absent or late students

How to deal with frequently late and absent students who use personal problems as an excuse 

This one tough problem for any instructor. Usually handle it by trying to show understanding and kindness but same time follow the school rules to send a student a message that we will not allow manipulation or twisting the system just because of frequent excuses. Make sure to make clear that everyone has situations but other students manage to attend because Attendence is imporant 

A good policy is to issue an absence after three lates. Multiple absences result in a drop, that all depends on the grade level as well.
