take attendance

基本解釋

We don't take attendance in lecture, but lectures by a live person are one of the reasons for attending college.
我們不在課堂上點名，但是真人授課就是進大學的原因之一。
If the class is small enough. As you take attendance, write little notes to yourself next to each student's name that will give you a unique image for each one.
如果班級不大，在點名時你就可以依次在每個學生的名字欄加以備注，這樣你就會對每個名稱産生一個獨特的印象。
For example, in Baltimore, some schools take attendance at 10 a.m. rather than 8 a.m. because they know if kids show up at all, they come in late and would be counted absent.
例如，在巴爾的摩，一些學校在上午10時統(tǒng)計出蓆人數，而不是在上午8時，因爲他們知道，如果孩子們遲到了，上午8時統(tǒng)計會把他們算成曠課。

Meaning there may not be, as these stories infer, less interest in what Mr. Obama has to say than in what happens on American Idol, but far less interest in whether Nielsen gets to take their attendance.
