Total number of students enrolled in my Monday classes: 52
Total number of students who came into my classes after the start times today: 12
Number of students late for basic English class: 3
Number of students late for Intro to Business Communication: 7
Which gives us 2 left over students who were both actually about an hour late for Management Theories, a class that I don't even teach, in a classroom in a completely different building, on the other side of campus.
Is it worth noting that the students late for basic English, a 1st semester class, all came in within 7 minutes of our scheduled start? Is it worth noting that the (presumably) more advanced students for Business Communication (a 2nd semester class) came in between 10 and 40 minutes late?
And what about the fact that I, a person actually born one week late and chronically tardy for most of his educational life, have become among the strictest of clock-watchers?
Nah, none of it means anything, near as I can tell.

It is highly likely that there is no coordinated activity resulting in the tardiness and non attendance facts. Therefore, while there are explanations, they are likely random occurrences even if there appears to be a pattern. That leaves chaotic behavior as an explanation and while there are chaos theories that can explain and even predict such behavior, none are likely to affect the greater planetary issues.
