Your syllabus specifies a reduction in points for repeated tardiness. You feel bad because you do not know if the reason he is late is because of the wheelchair and you don't want to discriminate him just because he is disabled. What should your course of action be? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I should speak to Jeremy privately and ask him why he has been late to class lately and if it is because of a campus fault or his own. I will explain after hearing his reasoning that if is because of the campus he doesn't have to worry about but if it is his own fault he needs to be mindful of my policy.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: Talking to the student will allow the teacher to determine whether or not the student's grade should be lowered as a result of the excessive tardies Rated On: October 18, 2015 11:06 pm Rated By: eXyzyS                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: I feel like this is the most fair answer. If it is because he needs further accommodations he should not be penalized, but if it is not then he should be held to the same standard as anyone else.
