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!) Locking the door is a good start as it shows that tardiness will not be accepted in the classroom. Also implement a sort of reward system for students who do show up to class on time and try to fix this tardy problem with administration early on in the year and make sure that they enforce their policies. If nothing is enforced then students will continue to be tardy.
