    Note:         In English schools the form teacher marks the register every morning
                  before lessons and often before afternoon lessons too. The register or
                  attendance register, as it is called in full, is a book with a list of the
                  pupils’ full names, addresses and dates of birth. When marked, the register
                  is usually kept in the school office and not taken to lessons.To call the
                  register is used only if the names are called out and the pupils answer.The
                  marking of the register can be called registration in formal style.e.g.
                  Pupils go to their form-rooms every morning for registration.

    Note:        To mark smb. absent is often used in connection with registration.
                 In registers, mark books, etc. absent is often abbreviated to abs or a.
                 The teacher may ask “Who’s absent today?” or “ How many people are
                 absent today?” , but in non-formal style away is often used instead of the
                 official word absent.
                 e.g. Who’s away today?
                      I was away last week, so I missed that work.
                 Similarly here replaces present.
                 e.g. - Is Margaret away / absent?
                       - No, she’s here.
                 When a pupil’s name is called, he usually answers “Here”.
                 A person who is absent is officially called an absentee.
                 e.g. There are three absentees today.
                 The teacher may make a list of absentees, or an absence list.
