Home | How It Works | Stats Login | Register         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 have heard of schools having tardy hall. The teachers lock their doors when the tardy bell rings and any student who was tardy goes to tardy hall and write a paper. After so many tardy halls, they are written up on a referral. Also, the work the student misses is not allowed to be made up.                 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: Students should not be punished through their grade for something that is likely a problem in the home and transportation.
