  Case: Tardy policies
My school district has a tardy policy. The policy is warnings the first three tardies, a parent contact on the fourth tardy, and a referral on the fifth tardy (and a referral on any referral after five). The problem is there are hundreds of students tardy to classes each block. So the office does not punish the students (other than conferences) stating they cannot punish hundreds of students. What can teachers do to fix this tardy issue?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
The expectations were not set from the beginning, and it may be hard to change; however, being tardy is losing instruction. Therefore, the problem must be dealt with. Are there any rewards or incentives that students would be interested in that may encourage being in class on-time? If this is a concern with many teachers, it may be time to go as a group to administration. Not only are they missing instruction, but this is a social behavior that must be corrected before students enter the workforce.

Comments: Being consistent and using rewards and incentives is a great way to encourage students to be punctual and on time for class. Having a meeting with administration to address any concerns is also a good idea and will help teachers and administration work together to address the issue.
