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!)
If a problem is occurring at home, I don't think that they should let that interfere with Casey's education (let alone allow her to think that it is okay to be tardy). However, problems with parents can be sticky, and affect children more than we could ever know, so maybe giving Casey a pass to be late once a week would motivate her to be on time (and give her the motivation to encourage her father as well)--make it green, put a fun picture on it, laminate it, make it hers. Tell her that she can use the pass only once per week and when she doesn't have it anymore, she will be counted tardy and have a consequence. This will allow some leeway for Casey's situation, but still teach her accountability and responsibility. |

| Comments: I agree with this solution. I like the idea of incorporating a green card to make her own. Then when she happens to be tardy she can take responsibility for it and decide to use the pass or take the consequence for being late. It will further help her develop a sense of responsibility but also may help her discuss her tardy issues with her dad. |

| Comments: I think this a very positive and encouraging way to help solve the issue. I think the teacher should also contact the father and try to find out what exactly is causing him to have her late to school and maybe try to find an alternative way for her to get to school on time that wouldn't put too much added stress on the father and/or the child. |
