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!) Start by asking the student why he is late so much. Be sure to do this without mentioning the wheelchair because it may give him a easy out, and you may then never know the real reason. Another approach that you could try is to ask the parents. Be sure that when you ask the parents you don't put the blame on them.
