Discussion

Darius Saczuk Oct 6, 2015:
Yes. The above example comes from an official school form. I have no problem with it at all. However, in the context provided by the asker we are dealing with an everyday informal school conversation. I would stick to the "unprepared options".
Jacek Kloskowski Oct 6, 2015:
Most likely the teacher would say "this is third time you came unprepared". But I see it also possible for him to utter "I am making an entry into the journal for your unpreparedness"
Jacek Kloskowski Oct 6, 2015:
Another example:

DETENTION

While the faculty and administration attempt to minimize the need for after school detention, sometimes it becomes a necessity. Below is a typical notice which will be sent home in the event a student is assigned after school detention. This notice must be signed by the parent or guardian and returned to the teacher who assigned the detention the next school day. Please make a note of detention times. Parents or guardians are responsible for having their child picked up on time at the school when detention is over.

Date:
Because:
_____ 1. Missing or unacceptable homework
_____ 2. Improper classroom behavior
_____ 3. Repeated unpreparedness for class
_____ 4. Other

We don't have to agree. It is a free world. Would a teacher tell his/her student, "This is your third unpreparedness"? Hmmm...
Jacek Kloskowski Oct 6, 2015:
I agree with Dariusz that on the college or university level "unpreparedness" does not exist - who cares? But I have seen it used in elementary, junior high and high school levels.
Jacek Kloskowski Oct 6, 2015:
I posted few examples in the context of "class unpreparedness" - see my entry. As per "unnatural" ringing to it, I am on complete opposite - it sounds to me natural as I have seen it used in this context, e.g. "# of times unprepared" "second unpreparedness" "reasons for unpreparedness" etc.
Frank Szmulowicz, Ph. D. Oct 6, 2015:
I can offer my solution as a compromise.:)
Darius Saczuk Oct 6, 2015:
W tej konkretnej sytuacji jestem za różnymi opcjami z "not prepared" "unprepared": be unprepared, show up unprepared, come to class unprepared etc.
Darius Saczuk Oct 6, 2015:
Ja chodziłem do szkoły tu i uczę w szkole (college level) od 20 lat i w codziennej konwersacji zabrzmiałoby mi to dziwnie.
Jacek Kloskowski Oct 6, 2015:
A ja mam dzieci w szkole i widze to słowo często używane w raportach
Darius Saczuk Oct 6, 2015:
Dla mnie nienaturalnie.
Jacek Kloskowski Oct 6, 2015:
wg mnie 'unpreparedness' jak najbardziej
Darius Saczuk Oct 5, 2015:
Lepiej nie.
piotrek1234 (asker) Oct 5, 2015:
A jeśli potrzebowałbym tego użyć w formie rzeczownika?

The unpreparedness of the educated classes, the lack of practical links between them and the mass of the people, their laziness, and, let it be said, their cowardice at the decisive moment of the struggle will give rise to tragic mishaps.”

failure to prepare for class

Although the faculty recognizes that a majority of students are highly motivated and would prepare for and would attend class without any requirement to do so, a small but significant number of students do not attend class with sufficient consistency and preparedness. That failure is detrimental to their education and is inconsistent with the professionalism that aspiring lawyers should exhibit. In addition, a student’s failure to prepare for class often adversely affects the class discussion and thus is also detrimental to the education of his or her fellow student. - http://www.law.tulane.edu/tlsabroad/resources.aspx

MISBEHAVIORS

Level 1 misbehaviors are those, which interfere with the orderly learning environment of the school, classroom, and common areas. Students learn through their mistakes. To this extent, responses to the daily misbehaviors, which occur in school, should be instructive and positive, teaching children what is expected and how they should behave.
Examples: Listed below are the types of misbehavior that are included in Level 1. The list is not exhaustive.

• Repeated tardiness without a note;
• Failure to prepare for class;
• Running in the hallways; and
• Disturbing the work or play of other

 Suicide threats
 Suspected child abuse

 Atypical and/or inappropriate behavior
 Persistent failure to prepare for class activities or bring materials to class
