  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!)
I think implementing rewards for students with no referrals even the small infractions may be a solution here. A sock hop, free outside time, etc could be great free ideas to let the good outweigh the bad.

Comments: I agree that there should be an incentive for those students that follow the rules and it might also encourage the others to follow.

Comments: I don't think you should be rewarded for being on time to class, that is an expectation.

Comments: Although this seems like a good idea, students shouldn't be rewarded for doing what they are supposed to do.
