Case: Tardiness
Self-contained classroom: Casey keeps coming to class late. The teacher has asked for her tardy slip. She did not have one, so she was sent back to the office. The assistance principle said that she was not going to be counted as tardy because it was her father\'s fault. The father has been having issues. The paraprofessional feels that there should be consequences for Casey. Her reasoning is that in the real world at a job, being late will not keep a job. Should there be consequences in the classroom for tardiness?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
This is a sticky situation. It's not really Casey's fault she is late. She needs to know that being late is not responsible. I don't feel a call home to the father to find out the situation would be out of the question, but you have to tread lightly in these situations. I'm sure Casey's father could be reasoned with if you explained not only is she missing time in class, but she may start having to be held accountable for her tardiness. No decent father would want to let that happen to their child! |

| Comments: I would never do this! This is wrong! There needs to be some leeway in regards to this manner. The child shouldn't be punished because of a parent's inability to get the student to class on time. |

| Comments: I believe this is a good example of how to begin sorting out the problem just don't think its an effective solution and has a lack of creativity to help handle the problem without causing drama. |

| Comments: I do not think it is fair to punish Casey for her father's situation but feel that talking to him about how she is missing important information and would like for her to be in class as close to the time as possible will help. I do think it is important to teach Casey that being tardy is not okay. |
