  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!)
There are many things teachers can do:
Lock the door once the tardy bell rings
Have the students get a tardy pass if they come to class late and do not have a written excuse.
Keep track of the student and if they are tardy a lot, talk to them about it.

Comments: I think this is a good solution! Student's need to realize that once the bell rings, they are on their teacher's time and are taking away time from class instruction.

Comments: This solution to me seems to be the most effective, because if you are going to be late thats the only way you'll be allowed in.
