She did not have one, so she was sent back to the office. The assistance principle said that she was not going to be counted as tardy because it was her father\'s fault. The father has been having issues. The paraprofessional feels that there should be consequences for Casey. Her reasoning is that in the real world at a job, being late will not keep a job. Should there be consequences in the classroom for tardiness? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Yes, I agree that their should be consequences in the classroom for tardiness. We are doing the students a disservice by not teaching them time management skills and the importance of arriving somewhere on time.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) No The suggested solution is relevant to the case No The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement No The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue No The suggested solution is original No Comments: She is still a kid and holding her accountable for her father's action might create a situation where this student hates school.
