Home | How It Works | Stats Login | Register         Case: Always late For the third time, a Jeremy arrives to your classroom late (he is in a wheelchair). 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 would call his parents and just let them know he has been showing up late to class and ask if they know why.                 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: Going directly to the parents is not the way to go. I feel speaking to the student first is most positive and helpful.

He is late for a reason, find out the reason then proceed from there.

This could cause more problems for Jeremy. He may have a legitimate reason and you need to talk to him first.
