Many states pay school districts based on attendance.

Attendance typically correlates with classroom success.

Attendance avoids truancy proceedings.

One of the kids in my elementary school got a hat for perfect attendance through 6th grade.

I've never seen attendance shown on a transcript though, but you could fill some space on a resume with it, especially if you have the hat to show for it.

An emphasis on perfect attendance can be harmful, though, if it means students come in when they are sick and spread it to the rest of class.
