I don't understand them because I believe the opposite; I think being absent is worse.
Being late is generally more frowned upon compared to being absent. A late student can get all the please-tell-me-why-you're-late reprimands from a teacher. Meanwhile, an absent student can save himself from that humiliation and a teacher can simply ask that student about his absence on the day he attends school again.
A tardy student still gets to attend other classes while being absent is a student's failure to physically show up in a class.
What do you guys think?
