How do you handle this situation? Should me as a teacher say something to that parent? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) If it's the parent that is making the student late, there's a chance that talking to the parent may not do anything. I would reach out to the guidance counselor so we could both have a discussion with parent. If we don't see any change, I would do my best to work with the student, especially if it's not the student's fault. There may have to be another step tp take involving CPS but I thin that would be a last resort.
