+Behaviour of absences and tardiness
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+When a student is marked as absent, this information is carried over to all future
+lessons on the same day, meaning that for any teacher holding lessons in the class
+after the one that marked them as absent will automatically see them as absent.
+
+Likewise, if a student returns and is marked as not absent, this is carried over
+to all future lessons.
