  Case: The parent who always brings her kids late
One of your students is consistently brought late to school. Not only does he miss the morning drill, but usually at least 20 minutes of instruction. When he finally arrives, the classroom routine is interrupted by the parent's apology and excuses, and you must take time away from the other students to help the child get his day started. You realize the parent is having a difficult time at home. Well?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
The excessive tardies will need to be handled by the administration. As far as the classroom interruptions; one morning when you see the parent and student coming, meet them outside. Advise the student to go inside, unpack, and join the class in the morning assignment. While outside, explain the situation to the parent. Tell them that their child is missing valuable education time when he or she is being brought late. Tell the parent that there are morning when everyone takes a little longer getting ready, but if it continues the mother will have to drop the child off outside the classroom. Once the bell rings, the inside of the classroom is for learning only.

Comments: This solution is quite helpful as well. Advising the parent to drop the child off by the class instead of in the class can be a great idea.

Comments: I do not agree with this solution, discussing tardiness with parents when you are supposed to be do instruction is taking away from teaching.
