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!) Make your own classroom tardy policy. When students are tardy without an excuse note give them a special assignment for late students. I would have students write a paper on the effects of being late to school, work and activities has for them as well as the other people involved.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: This is a good idea because students don't miss out on class time, but have to do extra work for being tardy.
